« How to tell you what this Master’s degree gave me…, well, an exciting job!!! And I want to stress this point: passion. Every day I go to work enthusiastically. I am a project manager, which means I plan holidays trips. But I want that these holidays make sense. Currently, I organise stays adapted for persons with mental disability and behavioural disorders in an association of popular education in Caen. I manage the recruitment of the facilitation teams, the selection and the follow-up of the transport and the accommodation over the stays. I manage also the website. Before, I did the same tasks in Paris for organising school trips, always within a great association of popular education. This Master’s degree lead me to discover the stakeholders for educational tourism in general. I realized internships which have strengthened me in my desire to conceive holidays which make sense. It is a professional-qualification course, today thanks to this Master’s degree, I do simply what I like at the heart of the values that I hold dear ».
