Vocational and entrepreneurship training is a key driver of socio-economic and sustainable development.
By delivering our expertise, volunteering time, and collaborating and supporting partners on the ground, we enable individuals and communities for a better future.
Created in 2012, our VolunteerIn program inspires people to give back to communities through mentoring, training, and contribution to meaningful initiatives from local partners. By supporting them, we amplify the power of responsible citizenship and sustainable development.
The 1000+ Solutions for Cities exhibition is now traveling around France and will be present at COP27.
