Description

Hello folks ! My name's Isabelle, I am a French girl from Normandy near the sea. My family is from the South of France, Spain and Italie. I live in Lille for 7 years now in love with the welcoming and cheerfulness of the North. I have always devoted my time for educative/social or event work. It taught me about being open-minded, patient, curious, and responsible. For 4 years now I am working with migrants thanks to them I learnt so much thanks to them.

If I am starting Workaway is because I am convinced about community power but also self-innovative actions. I would like to start my own project which would be an alternative school or social centre. We do not have Planet B as I am used to say, our differences are our forces we need to cooperate and live together with dignity and respect adding of course nature and animals.

More details about my language interests
I love languages since always ! I have an English degree wich enabled me to discover other languages in my time as a student! I love social and cultural work so languages are very useful and fascinating because they help you out communicate better in a more profound way ;) Every time I go somewhere I always try to speak the local language they are source of tolerance, respect, love and kindness. Why not speaking them even a few words?

More details about your skills

Hello hosts ! I can tell I have always worked into social and education work but also into festivals, bars, concert halls and being a volunteer in many missions made me feel organised and ready for adaptation. I often worked by night up to 5am no matter what it takes to lift heavy stuff as long as the atmosphere is funny and dynamic ! I am very keen on DIY stuff and cooking as well, my next project after French teaching is to have my own foodtruck.
As I said I am currently a French teacher so I have been working with kids, teenagers and adults for many years and I've been supervising summer camps. Had a fantastic time in boyscouts in France ! For 5 years now I am teaching French to migrants and just love my work. They taught me so much.
I am very good at languages as well and I love learning new ones : currently started Turkish but can speak fluently English and quite well Spanish. I have a BA in English and a MA in French teaching and had one year of studies as an Event planner. Also I have a certificate in youth supervision and first aid certificate.

What else ...

I like playing games like cards or funny games like "ouga bouga" or "mito" which are meant to create a funny atmosphere. I enjoy playing board games as well like "splendor", "seasons" and other strategic games as long as they are not too strategic! I am very fond of music and dance, I like discovering new dance steps and world music is one of my favourite type of music!
Sport is a part of my life too, reading and doing art work are very important to me as well.
