Activities & Shift
A good part of the help you can provide us with will be dedicated to children learning languages. We try to organise gatherings for kids to come and play in different languages (sometimes once a week sometimes daily, it depends when you come and what language you speak). When children are involved, the help we are hoping to find from you is more likely to be playing with them, sometimes going out to the park and play in your language there, or play music, or create things, or even cook together either french meals for you to learn, or meals from your country that you can teach them/us.

Rules
As per our passion for languages, we can link you with language weekly meetings in a cafe nearby where it is easy to make connections.
The valley where we live has got a lot to offer. Mountain activities (skiing, hiking, cycling, climbing) . In Briançon there are: swimming pool with sauna hammam, mediatheque, cinema, board game place, danse classes..
We love international relations and have been involved in many communities projects. We hosted 400 travellers in London through couchsurfing in the past. Such an inspiring way to meet the world and share universal values.
Each winter season we are hosting many volunteers for this project. We had the pleasure to host different culture: British / German/ Taiwan / Australia
We speak 7 languages by the way and can teach you some :)
