Participant profile
We are looking for an active, responsible and motivated volunteer who is ready to live in a rural area and work with young people from different backgrounds. The participant should be communicative, adaptable, autonomous and interested in education, European mobility, intercultural learning and non-formal education. A good level of English or French, together with a strong motivation to learn French, is expected. Creativity, initiative and a willingness to develop personal activities are highly appreciated.
