At La Cité Écologique, young adults hold a place of choice! Indeed, they have the opportunity to fulfill their human potential and participate in multiple projects: travelling around the world, training and involvement in La Cité’s businesses, creating eco-friendly companies… At the end of their high school, two years of experience in the businesses are required to test their organizational skills, manual abilities, sociability etc. During this period, they will discover an area that suits them among the variety offered. Subsequently, several will be offered a position within the management of the ecovillage.
