Original post
Bonjour,
Je me présente, je m'appelle Aurélie, j'ai 31 ans. Je suis actuellement educatrice-animatrice dans un foyer de jeunes travailleurs depsui 1 an1/2. Je rêve depuis des années de partir vivre en Afrique. Jusqu'à maintenant je n'ai fait que deux séjours au Sénégal d'une durée de un mois chacun. Le premier j'ai vécu chez l'habitant et le deuxième je suis partie dans le cadre d'un chantier de solidarité internationale.
En fait, j'aimerais vivre en Afrique mais je ne vise pas pour l'instant de pays en particulier et je n'ai pas non plus de projet précis. Je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre ni même par ou commencer donc si quelqu'un voire plusieurs personnes pouvaient m'aider dans mon cheminement ce serait vraiment gentil.
Merci d'avance. Aurélie

salut
vous avez dejà une experience de L'AFRIQUE qui vous incite à partir y vivre.:..LE SENEGAL ..pouquoi pas?!!
comme vous etes educatrice animatrice pour jeunes travailleurs ..au debut il ne faudrait pas envisager une expatriation mais des missions ponctuelles dans votre domaine de competence, organisées depuis la FRANCE ...par ex les COMORES, l'ile de la REUNION, MAYOTTE, MADAGASCAR ...l'AFRIQUE vaste continent ...
tout depend ...
partir vivre en AFRIQUE ...necessite des investissements et une certaine autonomie de projet ...

Partir c’est en tirer toujours quelque chose de positif déjà dans la connaissance de soi, Partir c’est découvrir mais quoi découvrir et de fois il est bien de se demander pour quoi faire dans ce monde mercantiliste, ou sans revenu on est bien mal parti. Alors je trouve génial de se former en partant comme fut conçu les programmes ERAMUS, qui malheureusement ne concerne pas l’Afrique et dont la durée a l’handicap de ne pas offrir de formation vraiment qualifiante pour ne pas dire de parcours professionnalisant. Alors j’ai trouvé génial ce programme d’un genre nouveau ou voyager c’est se former par le principe même de la découverte après un cycle de formation méthodologique de cinq mois dans différentes spécialités appliquée en développement local. Puis les étudiants plus considérés comme des stagiaires vont être entrainé dans un circuit de découverte des projets de développement de 8 mois où seront disséqués les méthodes d’interventions et les risques à appréhender dans la conduite du projet. Ils verront ce que l’Afrique fait de mieux dans le développement local et les pièges des systèmes mis en place. Fort de ces connaissances nouvelles, la dernière phase du cycle s’arc-boute sur un stage opérationnel de 8 mois de mise en pratique de l’expertise enseignée. Et d’un véritablement accompagnement en marketing d’emploi et en recherche dynamique d’un emploi.
Ce programme initié par le REDES démarre en janvier 2009 et est ouvert à des promotions de 30 étudiants par an. Je crois qu’il est particulièrement bien construit pour des personnes qui souhaitent vraiment s’installer et travailler en Afrique, pour leur propre compte ou pour le compte d’une entreprise ou une ONG. Des personnes connaissant peu l’Afrique qui souhaite savoir où s’installer et quoi faire. A ce titre les 8 pays inscrits au programme sont le Burkina Faso, Mali, Gabon, Togo/Benin, Ghana, Guinée Maroc Côte d’ivoire. Et l’étudiant choisira l’organisme et le lieu où il souhaite effectué son stage opérationnel de 8 mois sachant que certains stages étant rémunérés, il est vivement conseillé aux étudiant de s’inscrire dans ce types de stage pour amortir une scolarité qui est établie à 6650 € avec la prise en charge de l’hébergement, de la nourriture, de transport jusqu’au lieu de stage à partir du siège social de l’organisme basé à Abidjan ou du lieu de stage finissant.
Ces 24 mois de formation sont sanctionnés par un master de gestion de projet avec en option Management de développement local (option 1) ou Evaluation, audit et modélisation de projet (option 2).
J’ai un document en format pdf pour ceux qui souhaitent en savoir plus sur le programme, les séminaires dispensés lors de la première), sur les intervenants aussi : leurs spécialités et les organismes auxquels ils appartiennent ou appartenaient ; et les lieux de stages
au lieu de rever sa vie ne faut-il pas mieux vivre ses reves
C’est clair que de premier abord, le prix de la scolarité peut paraître sélectif, mais :
Imagine toi à établir un budget de 8 mois en Afrique à sillonner 8 pays ;
Imagine toi le prix d’une formation qualifiante avec ce qui se fait de mieux en Afrique comme intervenant et de surcroit des homme ou femme de terrain appartenant à des organismes décideurs ( modèle type de scolarité : école de commerce et système de réseau facilitant le marketing d’emploi) : pas moins de 3 directeur de ressources humaines d’organisme leader dans leur domaine ; 2 spécialistes en recherche actions, 3 spécialiste en marketing social, des médiateurs ou facilitateurs sociaux, des financiers et gestionnaires d'entreprises, sans compter des professionnels de l'action sociale et des spécialistes des technologies de l'information et de la communication.
Imagine-toi sortant diplômé et hautement qualifié de cette aventure humaine qui t’offre une trajectoire scolaire et professionnelle
Fais-toi un bilan prévisionnel de tout cela comme tout spécialiste de projet et tu verras que tu es largement gagnante.
Et pose toi maintenant la question combien t’ont tes deux derniers séjours au Sénégal et qu’en as-tu tiré de concret sur le plan professionnel. Alors dans ce cadre non seulement tu es formé dans une logique professionnalisante mais tu développes comme dans les grandes écoles un réseau de connaissance apte à t’offrir des opportunités professionnelles.
A titre d’exemple, pour conserver voir développer chez ma fille le gout d’Afrique je lui offre un voyage annuel d’un mois en été et cela me coute au minimum pas moins de 2000 €, vu les prix des billets d’avion et comme elle a moins de 11 ans le billet de l’accompagnateur, même si j’ai la chance d’avoir de la famille et des amis heureux de l’accueillir et de lui faire passer un bon séjour dans une ambiance d’hospitalité africaine. Bilan : en deux séjour en Afrique en raison d’un mois par an j’ai dépensé plus du tiers de la dite scolarité, sans pour autant que ma fille n’acquière de compétence technique lui permettant de travailler concrètement en Afrique. Ok elle est encore jeune mais n’empêche que je n’ai pas le choix, elle n’est pas en âge de faire ce type d’études. Alors je m’imagine 8 mois dans 8 pays comme un bon investissement pour une véritable intégration.
Bonjour revenir à l’institut je rois que leur site web d’information et d’inscription ne sera opérationnel qu’en fin Aout, mais tu peux avoir des infos ou la brochure en envoyant un email à l’adresse suivant : isise.institut@free.fr à défaut envoie un email à cette adresse fclement_fr@yahoo.fr et je t’enverrai un fichier format word ou pdf où tu as des renseignements sur le contenu du programme (séminaires obligatoires d’une durée de 5 mois à Abidjan), le profil synthétique des intervenants, les pays et les objets de stages découverte et les possibilités de stages opérationnels sont plus vastes car le Ghana, le Kenya, le Cameroun, le Congo le Sénégal et bien d’autres pays sont au programme vu que certains intervenant officient assez souvent dans ces pays et donc créent des ouvertures pour ceux qui souhaitent terminer leur cursus dans des espaces autre les stages de découverte.
Pour le financement tu peux y arriver en montant un projet dans le cadre de la coopération décentralisée pour le compte d’une commune française jumelée avec une commune africaine, en te faisant aussi financer par les autres collectivités locales (département région dans le cadre deux leur subvention en faveur des projets de développement, ou par le biais d’organismes intergouvernementaux comme la francophonie qui offre des bourses aux projets ou des ONG locale qui ont besoin de se développer et recherche de plus en plus de spécialiste pour leur montage financier, au vu du package formation que tu auras au sein de l’institut (le soutien d’expert confirmés intervenant dans les projet de développement), tu es en droit de demander qu’une partie des fonds collecter puisses financer tes études au sein de l’ISISE : sorte de formation continue ou d’apprentissage financer par l’employeur, en l’occurrence l’ONG.
Voila bon courage et bonne chance dans la construction de ton projet Afrique

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
