📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
You will work with an available and present tutor, who will guide you through your missions. You will have the time to discover our organization, its functioning and its activities in order to get a better socio-linguistic integration. During the 1st part of the mission, you will conduct a practices analysis: observing our way to work, our constraints and will be able to interrogate our employees and active members. You will make research about the topic of environmental protection, including political measures about ecological transition. You will help us write a guide for good practices within our organization, to give simple tools to reduce our ecological print. In the 2nd part of your mission, you will work on the dissemination of your results and solutions: you will intervene during our information session, during our camp leaders training but also, on different workcamp sites: you will be directly in contact with the volunteer groups and local communities who welcome them.
