🏢 About the local organisation
The Haute Saintonge Library Network seeks to bring the culture of books to life in the region. Thus, a partnership with the Maison des Bateleurs – Solidarités Jeunesses was created in order to connect international young people with local people in an intercultural and literary atmosphere to make alive a practice eager to continue living among the public of all ages, especially the youth.
💼 What the programme involves
You will participate in the creation of a literary atlas with locals. This creation comes from the writing and reading workshops carried out in the libraries of the region. In addition, you will participate in interculturality workshops.
