Send your application :

Your CV and a personal message in French or in English to share the meaning it would have for you to take part in the association activities.

We hope to welcome you for a few days in immersion school before June 28, so that you can become familiar with how the school functions on a daily basis before deciding together on your commitment.

(Following the feedback from the 2 people in Civic Service this year: indeed the life of the school leads to question many beliefs and habits, and the summer will give you the time to prepare for it.)

See you soon !
