Entrepreneurs for future generations
Schools and trainings
Each one of us spends almost 40 years of our lives working. These are precious years, and involves many personal and social challenges: finding a meaningful job that is useful to those around us, understanding and implementing more sustainable practices in today’s world…
Supporting people who want to change their lives, or who are just starting out, is crucial to shift the world we live in. This wish to use education to rethink our lifestyles is behind Groupe SOS training programmes.
