Testimonials

"Today, despite the fact that we are still only at the beginning of our work, we see the first leaves growing and we are convinced that in the years to come we will see flowers budding and bearing fruit."

Mathilde & Jil ASSAD
Sent to Mexico for a long term

"Of course, there was the initial shock, the cultural differences or the homesickness, but I can still say today that I enjoyed my first stay abroad with DM 10 out of 10 and that I would do it again (like now) without hesitation!"

Loris KNAUS
Sent to Cuba and to Togo for a cultural exchange

"The preparation has already been going on for a long time before the training sessions, which we have six months before leaving. When we go abroad, we are ready to want to take the step, change our lifestyle, our way of understanding our world."
