COEXISTANTS, THE PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES

As a Coexistante, I've learnt lots of things, like the value of commitment and working together. But above all I've learnt a lot about myself, my faith and how I want to contribute to society. I've rediscovered my dreams simply by talking or listening to other Coexistants.

Coexisting in Nice since 2014

I met Coexister at a fairly difficult time in my life. I had just finished my studies and was struggling to find my first job. I was questioning all my abilities, my know-how and even my interpersonal skills. Thanks to Coexister, I regained my self-confidence. My abilities, my commitment, my work and my identity were finally recognised, and that did me a world of good.

Coexisting in Valence since 2016

As an atheist and originally anti-clerical, I found myself in a group of people who were all talking about their vision of religion and their relationship with spirituality, and all without shouting at each other or beating each other up. That's what impressed me the most!
