Adrien Bachelet & Jade Tellier, Green Village Raipur, India We are finally on the field, at the Green Village, Raipur in India. Due to the coronavirus situation, we were waiting for so many months for our departure from France. It was of course difficult to be unable to join the field but we never dropped our project. It is a life project for both of us, not a parenthesis in our professional experiences and during all these months, we had a lot of time to imagine our days here, Jade as a Coach, Adrien as a Project Manager Integration. We both know Asia, we already know India and this made us even more excited to really “live India” and to have time to understand this spiritual, rich and colorful country. We didn’t know a lot about the Green Village Raipur, we just knew that the GV is situated in the middle of a small village - Saragaon, in the countryside but it was hard to imagine anything. We didn’t really know which expectations to have. We were like LP4Y loves to say, under total “lâcher-prise” - “let it go” and it was a huge surprise when we arrived at our final destination. It was a big dream that finally came true. We arrived at our new home at night and it was only in the morning that we discovered the landscape from the terrace and the rooftop: a rice field background with farmers, cows, locals dressed with beautiful colors bathing on the ponds, colorful houses and fruit trees. Our neighborhood We quickly realized that we were at home. Our new home for 1 year! We reached the Green Village after a 15 minutes walk with some salutations of the inhabitants of the village. We will always remember the Youth welcoming on our first day at the GV. They were all applauding in line with a big smile and with a rose freshly cut from the garden for both of us. A warm welcome from the Youth at the GV We thought that we would have a very long period of observation before entering into the work but finally, we entered into the field very quickly. Here, everyday, we learn a lot about patience. Of course it is a different culture and when a Youth tells you “ok, I will do it” or “ok, I am capable of” then you come back again and again to ask for the task to be done and you finally just realize that he didn’t understand your request, you understand that you have to change absolutely all your way of doing and thinking. The biggest challenge is of course patience but also the Youth determination and motivation, they have to keep all the motivation during their 3 months here. You know when a Youth is fully motivated and you quickly see when someone is lazier and needs to be motivated. If they motivate themselves, they go very far. You learn a lot about each Youth personality and you develop a strong sense of intuition. Moreover, thanks to the individual talk, we strengthen our relationships and it touches us a lot when we see a Youth that does everything for improving himself for a better personal and professional life. It will be a year of full surprise and we personally feel that we are at the right place at the right moment. Helping others is fulfilling and helping with an innovative pedagogy is even better. It is fulfilling to help the Youth accept themself and focus on their future, making life road with them and give them hope by truly believing in themself and in their potential. After a month, we see the results and the impacts rapidly. We learn how to be more rigorous and demanding with the Youth and we understand the sense of our mission. We experienced the first departure from the GV of some Youth to their first job and it was very moving. We see that more and more companies take their social responsibility seriously and it is nice to know that we will follow the Youth professional experience. A Youth who leaves the GV for starting her job. To tell more about our village environment, here, animals are part of our lives. On some mornings, we are escorted by monkeys and dogs on our way to work. Cows try to enter our working space and some dogs try to bite us at night on our way back home. In our home, we found a frog in our water gallon, we got a nice snake guest in our roommate's bedroom and it is a nice souvenir to remember all the indian family of the landlord who arrived for New Year in our living room to chase the snake. Also, we used to share our house with "Rémy the Rat''. This is a big exit from our comfort zone and our indian neighborhood must be wondering why we are screaming sometimes. From our terrace, we see mongoose, eagles and a large variety of birds. It is very peaceful! Nature is very important for us and ecology as well. Although, this is a pillar of the green village pedagogy. The wonderful sunset from our Catalyst House We are happy there and we found our balance between our personal and professional life, we share moments and some events with the Youth (Christmas, Stars Dinner…) Christmas party and Jade first experience with Sari The STARS dinner We do morning yoga on our terrace, we spend a lot of time preparing and having breakfast with all our roommates, we learn a lot about indian cuisine and we have our annual subscription at the “Squash Club of Raipur”. Furthermore, it is very new for us to live with 5 roommates as a couple and it was one of our fears before the mission to find the balance between “roommates life” and “couple life”. But finally, we have a very good experience and it feels good to be surrounded by people with the same interests and values. We are spending a lot of time with them but also with some people in our village. We went to the barber and we met the best haircut ever : Sanjay. After our work, on the same day, we passed in front of his house and he invited us to his simple and traditional red mud house. We met all his beautiful family and this moment is still today one of our best memories of our first month here. Sanjay, the Haircut with his beautiful wife Lunch at Shouria’s house Jade & Adrien

The Youth, the Catalysts and all the teams of LP4Y

Rachel Cisinski, Contry Coordinator, TDC Beirut , Lebanon In October 2019, a team of Catalysts put down their bags in Beirut to launch the LP4Y project in a new geographical setting. After prospecting for three months, they had to leave the country in order to obtain a new visa. Then followed the health crisis that everybody knows about and the closure of international borders, preventing our Catalysts from returning to Lebanon. In November 2020, the team was finally back in Beirut, where the deteriorating situation on the economic, political and social levels gave greater meaning to the inclusion initiatives proposed to the lebanese population. In this article, Rachel, the country coordinator, gives us a portrait of a Lebanon as brave as it is vulnerable. “Habibi”, a portrait of Lebanon by an LP4Y Catalyst Lebanon is this narrow strip of land that unfurls between the most beautiful sea in the world—the Mediterranean—ranges of densely wooded mountains and historical Syria. An Arab side and a European profile. A tiny dot—twice as small as a French region, ten times as small as an Indian one—sitting between the East and the West. One day is all it takes to drive across the country. “Chouf, chouf! How beautiful it is!” Chouf!—which is Look! in Arabic—is also the name of one of its most famous regions. This is winter, you leave Beirut, its 22° Celsius, soft light, calm sea and high buildings. You drive along a road lined with banana trees. Then the landscape get more stony. A little further on, you can hear the life-saving gurgling of natural springs coming down the mountain. Miles of forest, pines, oaks, wild almond trees, two-thousand-year-old cedars stretch as far as the eye can see. As you continue to make your way up, the temperature drop and the magnificent scenery of the peaks still snow-capped in summer instantly revivify you. Eventually you go down on the other side and find yourself in the bare and arid plain of the Bekaa… The Lebanese people is a reflection of its land: full of reliefs, contrasts and diversity. Shiites, Sunnites, Maronites, Druze, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Catholics, Alawites, Ismaelians... a mere 4,000 sq mi for 18 religious denominations, each of them holding their values, traditions and personality close to their heart… Lebanon has always been a land of refuge and today more than ever with “refugees” from Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Iraq making up one third of its population… Lebanon has also long been the stage where foreign powers could demonstrate their strength. So, when the country gained its independence in 1943, a new golden age began... It ended in 1975 with the outbreak of the Civil War. 30 years during which these communities were torn apart; communities pitted against one another, giving each Lebanese a shattered identity as it was too multiple: at once murderer, orphan and victim. So what about Lebanon today? Poor management, corruption, communitarianism, lack of public services leading to a waste crisis, electricity cuts, water shortages, economic and financial crisis causing the Lebanese pound to rank as the second most devaluated currency in the world, along a soaring unemployment rate, a drastic rise in the cost of living, the partial destruction of Beirut on August 4, 2020, the health crisis... All they need now is a plague of locust... as the one they had at the turn of the last century… Some may argue that Lebanon is a country that is sinking down a seemingly bottomless ocean; that the varied and numerous evils that beset the country are just too much to bear for such a small region. Yet, HOPE is the first— and only—word which comes to my mind when I think of LEBANON. For beyond all these impossibilities, all this violence, the Lebanese have shown an exceptional will to live. If adversity is ancestral, an unfailing generosity, an incompressible power of the heart flows in every vein. In Lebanon, taxi drivers, if you take the time to exchange a few words with them, kiss the top of your head when you get out and forcefully putting your purse back into your bag, refuse to take your money. “Habibi” they say. Doctor Jamal,65, retired, a lady with a thousand talents, who doesn't know you much and yet agrees to walk up and down the most rundown streets of Beirut to help you find the building which will host the first LP4Y centre. “Habibi”. Mustapha, the Syrian green grocer round the corner, invites you into his home to meet his wife, sons, daughters, daughters in law, grand children (there are quite a few people at home) and treats you like a queen, showering you with his kindness although you understand little Arabic. “Habibi” In Lebanon, you will hear “Ahl w Sahla”, welcome, every day. The mother of one of your friends taught you that it literally means “prairies and parents”. And indeed, after traveling miles, there at last, you will always find a family in Lebanon. Every day you are impressed by the humanity and strength of the Lebanese people and that of the Youth especially. The same young people who, in October 2019 launched the “thaoura”, a revolution that brought together an entire people, united at last, after being divided for so long. These very youths who the day after the explosion came to the streets near Beirut port to rescue people, pick up the wreckage, clear up the rubble and reach out. These young people who in a system which does not provide any social welfare take care of their parents, their aunts, their uncles. These young people who have few opportunities, if any, but do not get bitter for all that. Thank you for your dignity, for your humanity. Thank you for making me feel welcome, thank you for your proud humbleness for always saving a seat for the hungry. It is more than ever urgent to support the Lebanese Youth to help them not to give up hope and believe in their future as much as we believe in it! The LP4Y project was designed for them, to allow them not to give up and to see far ahead. I am looking forward to working alongside the first young Lebanese within the LP4Y programme. I am looking forward to sharing their success, to seeing them grow and show their strengths. I am looking forward to seeing them shine.

Lilas Arquillière, YIN Coordinator, Entrepreneurs House in Taguig, Philippines Who are you? Hello! I am Lilas Arquillière, I am 26 and I come from Dijon in France. I was project manager in a communication agency in Lyon but I wanted to have more social and intercultural aspects in my job, that is why I applied to Life Project For Youth (LP4Y). Today I live in Manila, in The Philippines, in one LP4Y center. It is very close to the slums to allow the Youth to come everyday to attend their 9-month professional training and despite the noise, I really appreciate living in my place. I started my mission as Youth Inclusion Network (YIN) coordinator in February 2020, one month before the lockdown. What is the YIN? The Youth Inclusion Network (YIN) is a network of companies willing to reduce poverty and act for the inclusion of Youth from underprivileged backgrounds. Initiated by Life Project For Youth (LP4Y) Foundation in 2015, the YIN is active in The Philippines, in Vietnam and soon in Nepal and India. The YIN members (= the companies) organise professional activities for the Youth as company visits, mock interview sessions, professional trainings, and they also propose job or internship offers to the excluded Youth from the NGOs partner of the YIN. To be part of the YIN, the members commit to organise at least one professional action per year for the excluded Youth. It is the only requirement to join the YIN, otherwise it is totally free. This video can help you to understand more how the YIN is working. What are your missions? As YIN coordinator I am in link with the companies member of the YIN (especially HR or CSR managers and Directors) to: > help them to organise professional activities and ensure the registration of the Youth > communicate their job or internship offers to the excluded Youth and transmit the applications > organise events towards Youth inclusion to allow the companies to share their experiences and best practices in order to inspire the other ones and allow some collaborations between the members. I am also managing the communication of the YIN and the recruitment of new members (= companies) and partners (= actors working with excluded Youth). I also like to spend time with the Youth by providing some trainings or collective guidance to understand better their needs and be able to give ideas of actions to the companies. How did you adapt your activities to the COVID crisis? In The Philippines the lockdown is very strict, today we are still in quarantine so the physical meetings are not allowed and most of the people work from home. Fortunately, most of the YIN members stayed involved and we found digital ways to continue the activities despite the situation. Since March 2020, we have organised: > +110 online mock interviews via Zoom or Google Meet > 4 pre-recorded professional training via videos hosted on YouTube > 6 professional trainings provided in live by a facilitator on Microsoft Teams > 1 virtual company visit And there were also a few hiring and internship opportunities. Can you tell some achievements you are proud of? With the LP4Y Vietnam team, we organised an afterwork both in physical and virtual ways. I was in Manila while the event was in Ho Chi Minh City, and as I could not travel I did my presentation on Google Meet, broadcasted on a big screen during the event. The team onsite in Ho Chi Minh was helping me to coordinate the event and we even succeeded to have testimonies of deaf and mute Youth signed translated in live. There were a lot of technical aspects to organise but the event went smoothly and I was very happy to see the YIN members gathered. I am also very proud each time we organise an event with a company because the Youth have always very good feedback, they really like to ask questions and learn from the professionals. If you are interested, convinced or just curious about Youth inclusion, you are more than welcome to contact me: Lilas Arquilliere Youth Inclusion Network (YIN) - Coordinator Tel: (+63) 919 502 2743 / Whatsapp: (+33) 6 28 68 02 07

Fanette Billot Coach Source of Life and Country Coordinator LPC Cilincing, Jakarta Indonesia “So, how was it?” This question always comes back as I meet my family and friends after 20 months abroad, in Indonesia. How to summarize almost two years of your life ? I could talk about everything that is astonishing in Indonesia. I could make my audience laugh with some funny anecdotes on daily life situations, which have left me puzzled. At nightfall, there is always a light on, under the porch, to prevent any ghost from entering the house. Once a ghost is glimpsed, no one would dare set foot in that room again. Dreams and their significations are also taken very seriously. If your subconscious is warning about some misfortune, beware, stay home! Indonesians are very superstitious. I could also mention the Indonesian warmness and hospitality, and especially when you are a white person. They will point at you with surprise and admiration, they will question you about your home country, the aim of your presence here and especially, your marital status. They will stop you to take selfies and a pregnant woman might even grab and touch your arm, hoping her baby would have your skin color. However, it is difficult to remember these first moments of surprise, wonder, discomfort and uneasiness. I just got used to it. I started to understand their norms, beliefs and even some words. Nonetheless, I have to admit that my white privilege remained stupefying during my whole stay! I could also make my public shed a tear and feel a bit of compassion. Yes, I could relate the poor conditions in which the youth we are accompanying are living in. Mountains of trash, tiny houses made out of cardboard where 7 to 8 people live, the black river crossing the village, the floods up to the thighs, chicken eating plastic, rats weaving in and out of the small pathways,… In addition, it would pass myself off as a courageous person, who would have changed her life and accepted to live under these circumstances to accompany young adults in their search for a decent job, and maybe even going out of poverty… A heroine? Nevertheless, I was facing these conditions every day. In the end, I felt like living in a village rather than in a slum. I wouldn’t notice the trash anymore, I would find some appeal to the little streets where sometimes we could glimpse at some greenery, I wouldn’t even hear the call for prayer anymore and mainly, I would recognize every smiling face on my way. This volunteering life in an indonesian slum, Kampung Sawah, became my daily routine. And I have never felt like a heroine. Alright, but then, how was it ? First, I think I should come back to the reasons for my departure. Why would I leave France, my family and friends, and the promise of a great job, to live in a slum area of an Asian country where I’ve never set foot before? It sounds completely absurd, I do realize it. And sometimes, I still wonder what I was looking for. I had just lived an interesting professional experience, for a cause which is dear to my heart, but I was so far from the field that I couldn’t see the impact of my job. It was frustrating. I needed to feel useful and to do something meaningful. Furthermore, I always had this yearning to do some social work. I had even promised myself, when I was a little girl, that I would go abroad for a humanitarian mission some day. Why not in France ? Why going overseas when France also has its share of misery and of people in need of support ? I do not know and today, I wish to get more involved for my own country. However, being abroad has always attracted me and this was not my first expatriation. Besides, it was on my bucket list to live in Asia. So I thought, it was time for me to take the plunge. Okay, I’m coming to it, my feedback! Landing in a new adventure is always complicated and I wasn’t fully at ease. My departure had been quite sudden and I didn’t get completely used to the idea that I was already on the field. Some people were preparing their mission for months, when I had learned my departure date three weeks before. I was clearly not ready for it. I can still remember my discomfort the first time I discovered my neighborhood. I arrived in the middle of the night, surrounded by an oppressive heat and humidity. There was trash everywhere. Everything seemed to be dirty and I even saw a rat… Finally discovering what would be my room for the next upcoming months, the walls, which used to be white, were grey and dirty. When I eventually calmed down - “what am I doing here?” - and fell asleep, I woke up, panicked, at 4:30am because of the call for prayers, whose sound, for my unused ears, was incredibly loud. Yet, quite quickly, I recreated my own comfort zone. I painted my room and I bonded with these persons who would be part of my life for the next few months: my “co-catalysts”. And, I met the youth. They are young adults, from 17 to 24 years old, who live in the slum. I started as a coach and I took over a joyful team. I realized that many things seemed obvious to me and yet, made no sense to them. I noticed all the things we are learning through our education, in school and through our family. Being on time for instance, apologizing when we are not, washing our hands, throwing trash in a bin rather than on the floor, not to scream. Some things which seem quite basic, and some more complicated concepts: critical thinking, logical reasoning and the organization of thoughts. I was also expecting to face hardened youth. When we see in which conditions they live, I imagined that they must have grown up faster than their age, full of resentment and with a strong will to change their life. It is not what I have seen in Indonesia. Poverty there takes the shape of smiles, resilience and joy. It is deeply moving, when some of them lose everything because of flooding, and yet they still manage to come to the center, with a big smile. Certainly, they will be less focused on the teaching that day, but they came to forget what’s going on at home and also, because that’s just part of life. And that day, we are the ones learning. Most of them do have the motivation to change their life but it does not happen with hardship. It is a gradual path where they transform themselves, step by step. They each have their own rhythm. It is amazing to witness them gaining self confidence and getting ready to defy fate. They are also confronted with everything they need to sacrifice in order to be professional : not always being here for your family and friends, working hard, having less free time for hobbies. Sometimes, they are not ready for it. They don’t have the maturity required for such a change. Then, it is up to us, catalysts, to take a step back and realize that we can’t help everyone, but only the ones who are ready. We need to be humble and find the courage to admit we are not saving anyone. We are only supporting an existing determination. Slums, marginalized neighborhoods, ghettos are full of audacious and talented people, decided to change their life and to take part in their country’s development. The surrounding community or the watchful eye Joy and resilience, they are also perceived in the surrounding local community. In the women managing the warungs, in the children playing in the streets, in the men peacefully smoking, watching time passing by. In the steady brouhaha of the slum, we can hear the laughs and the bustling conversations. The community is also full of kindness towards us. Through a smile or a call out “hey bule, mau ke mana?”, they watch over us, take an interest in what we’re doing, letting us know what’s happening in the neighbourhood. Warn us, sometimes. Take selfies with us, often. After a long day in front of the computer, trying to fix some Excel formulas or drafting emails, strolling in the area is exactly what you need to get all your energy back ! With a huge smile on your face, you then remember the purpose of this mission. It is not only to accompany the youth into finding a decent job. It is also about getting to know the community, its culture and way of living. And to get inspired by it. We seek to understand better the community and the youth, by living like them. We go grocery shopping in the local market, we are living without AC and most of all, we are living in the slum, among them. A modest lifestyle to focus on what is essential. Our co-catalysts, a precious support Another LP4Y innovation is to live with your fellow volunteers or “co-catalysts” in our jargon. Imagine, a shared house with volunteers having the same will to give to the less fortunate. It is an assured great atmosphere and a precious support in a challenging and intense mission. Who could better understand your joyful moments and your difficulties than the ones living the same experience? During our training before the departure, we were gathered with volunteers going for other missions, with other organizations. Some of them would be alone on the field. Knowing I would be surrounded by other volunteers and accompanied was very reassuring before the departure and has been a true comfort during the mission. In Indonesia, we have quite an advantage ! Indonesians speaking poorly English, we need a facilitator between us, foreigners, and the local community : a “Community Mobilizer”. Even though I have learned some Indonesian words, it is not enough to actually discuss with local authorities and to present our project. It is thus an incredible opportunity to work and live with local people. Thanks to them, I have learned a lot about Indonesia and the multitude of cultures we can discover there. Multiculturalism in the working environment is not always easy. Like with the youth, some expectations were so obvious to me that I wouldn’t clearly explain them. It led to a few misunderstandings! With a bit of patience and open mindedness, we could rapidly find ways to better understand each other. Through the youth, the community and the co-catalysts, the mission is a wonderful human experience. A path sprinkled with beautiful encounters and friendships. In a nutshell… We go on these humanitarian missions to give and share. We don’t expect how much we will be receiving and learning from the others. Patience, active listening, joy in the little things, resilience, the power of positivity. In difficult circumstances, we also learn a lot about ourselves, our weaknesses and strengths. From this journey, I also hold LP4Y values and spirit which I wish to keep on growing in my daily life. Of course, kindness, attentiveness and positivity but also daring. Daring to ask for help, to dream, to have ambition and to be yourself.

November Meetings in Europe encountered great successes. Boards Members from LP4Y Alliance Europe (France, Luxembourg and England) Romain Joly, President of LP4Y Lille Lille’s November meeting was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with all our sympathizers. Unfortunately, we could not rub shoulders as we normally do in convivial events. Therefore, it truly was a happy moment for us to meet them again virtually at this november meeting, as well as our most devoted and generous partners in Hauts de France! We were particularly touched by the variety of testimonies from Youths, catalysts and partners! The positivity and excitement coming from the field surely gave some energy to all participants! Louise Benjamin, LP4Y Luxembourg It was a great honour to become part of an awe inspiring worldwide team in 2020. LP4Y Luxembourg has made me so welcome and gives so much joy to so many people. I attended the Luxembourg annual event in November for LP4Y Luxembourg members, donors, sponsors and friends to learn about the Covid 19 crisis impact on LP4Y and initiatives to sustain its projects. I feel for the many young volunteers on the field whose plans are disrupted but have nonetheless persevered with their work to offer so much hope to disadvantaged young people. I feel for the youth enrolled or wanting to enrol in projects whose studies are disrupted and the shock of going from a stable future to the absolute fear of not even having basic needs. Closer to home, in the land of milk and honey of Luxembourg, it is pertinent that LP4Y sees how it can support disadvantaged young people. I have often thought that modern life will fail many young people and it is heartening to hear of the plans and ideas for Agora 4 Youth. After the Luxembourg meeting I reflected on how resilient the human race is. Whatever catastrophe the world throws at LP4Y it keeps going taking each day as it comes as well as keeping an eye on the ever moving target! Angelica Belli, LP4Y England The meeting took a lot of preparation and it was great to collaborate with board members and volunteers from many different LP4Y locations. During the meeting, it was great to hear so many different perspectives, see how people used their skills and passion to come up with creative ways to support LP4Y such as the Eden Blue project, and feel the contagious energy and motivation that our attendees brought to the call!

November meetings in Europe and Asia required great organization. Elisabeth Josnin and Carla Lopez led this great project. Carla Lopez, Elisabeth Josnin, Communication Fundraising and Partnerships CONCEPT In November and May, Life Project 4 Youth organizes yearly information meetings in Europe, in the UK as well as in the US. The goal is to get partners and sympathizers to know more about local achievements from the year and put forward new perspectives for the year to come. This field immersion, which is at the very heart of LP4Y projects, is a great opportunity for all the ecosystem to exchange ideas and discuss. This year, for the first time, those meetings were held on the field in Asia. Youth and Catalysts welcomed local partners in their centers digitally. They shared their experiences during this particular year and discussed projects to be implemented specifically in their cities. IMPACT IN NUMBERS In total, 16 meetings were held in 9 countries of action of LP4Y (Philippines, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Luxembourg, Belgium, France and England) in the course of November. Those meetings gathered digitally numerous actors with more than 500 connections. The American meeting will take place in January 2021. GLOBAL ORGANIZATION Youth, Catalysts on the field, in Europe and in the US, Alliance’ volunteers: all of them got greatly involved in this project. DIGITAL The challenge was serious: we wanted to offer a full digital immersion in LP4Y centers. To do so, 30 videos were rolled by a 3 members team of catalysts. The discovery of Life Project Centers, Green Villages and Training and Development Centers, as well as the introduction of recent initiatives like the e-learning platform Digital Inc, brought the whole LP4Y ecosystem together despite social distancing. NEXT STEPS Those meetings offered the chance to tell the story of more than 900 people working within the same organization. Together, they managed to work together towards youth professional inclusion despite this year's great stakes. Next meetings will be held in May 2021.

Raphaëlle de Truchis Communication Fundraising and Partnership Team leader TDC Sangam Vihar, India For me, agility is finding the best way to exist as you are, in interaction with all the people you cross. As you are with your personality, your objectives, your knowledge, your day-to-day emotions, your fears. But all this moves day by day. And the change is amplified with the interaction with other human beings, that have other personalities, other objectives, other knowledge, other fears. Agility is to be open to the change, with the limits of the respect to others, and not suffering of the situation yourself. And who is putting the limit? YOU! I found it interesting to compare LP4Y’s identity to a human being: • very flexible because LP4Y is full of all the personalities part of the movement: Youth, Catalysts, ambassadors, partners, families and individuals of the local community • 1 objective: improve the Youth inclusion to build a more equal and sustainable world • Knowledge at its summit: the famous TOGETHER WE CAN, working thanks to the combination of everyone's skills, special interests and motivation, a big puzzle where everyone finds its own space to grow. • coupled with no ego, no fears. During the crisis, I was just amazed by all the positive changes that had been built with the addition of the agility of everyone. If LP4Y is not a person, it definitely has something to do with agility. LP4Y keeps on moving with its time and with the changing professional world, so let's keep on being agile and take the best positive things we have inside us to go forward together. Thank you all for what you bring to LP4Y.
