Summer activities for your children
Every year in summer, parents have the same problem: what to do with their children during the long summer holidays?
Solidarité européenne has put together a list of possibilities for you. Some centres also offer activities for all the family – a really nice way to spend some quality time together. If you know of any other centres, please let us know so that we can put the information on our website.
Also, Solidarité européenne is well aware of the situation facing our colleagues with lower salaries. We therefore offer financial help to our members with a net salary of less than 3000€ per month.
