Interesting about this job
The activities can be very diverse: meeting and connecting, developing your creativity, exercising and promoting health, or supporting specific needs. Some activities are open to residents in groups or individually, while others are more passive, allowing you to watch and listen. These activities are often led by a dedicated instructor or volunteer.
We strive to keep activities accessible and prices affordable for everyone. Hospitality and service are our top priorities. Daily management is handled by paid professionals and volunteers.
We welcome new suggestions and initiatives from local residents. Of course, everything must fit within the budget provided by the Municipality.
