💼 What the programme involves
You will make a contribution to the beautification of a school (Messy)! Working together with 8 local young people, you will carry out some important work for the children by: putting colour and life back into a school located in a popular neighbourhood of the city! To do this your Franco-international team will take part in different solidarity actions: repaint the schoolï''s corridors, freshening up a wall outside with mural painting. The topic is sharing and cultural awareness! You will be helped by two local leaders for the technical part. For the painting task you will be able to bring in your artistic talents and your collective creativity to produce murals which express the groupï''s shared values. The work will be done in the mornings (5 hours every day from Monday to Friday). Make sure to bring old clothes for the painting work!
