We reach many type of public through our events (european coffees, debates, screen projections, Europe Day, exhibits on european subjects, etc). In our premises, we offer to the public a center of information and documentation as well as exhibits and other pedagogical tools we lend or rent.
Moreover, we go in schools, vocationnal training institutions and associations to talk about chosen european subjects.
Often, we inform youngsters about european mobility programs of the EU through presentations and games (giant puzzle, treasure hunt about european cultures and Histories, quiz). We also organize formation like CV and motivation letter workshops.
We also helps projects holders (youngster groups, NGOs, SMEs, etc…) to find relevant european programs to fund and implement their projects.
