Staff Profile #30 Julien

 


                                      New year, new service civique! 

Introducing our newest addition to the team, Julien Pruvost - our Project Development Officer. Hailing from Roubaix, a city in the north of France, Julien brings a wealth of experience in project management and intercultural relations to the table.

After earning a Bachelor's degree in Applied Foreign Languages, Julien went on to complete a Master's in Intercultural Relations and International Cooperation. He has had the opportunity to work on European projects in France and gain hands-on experience while participating in a European Solidarity Corps project in Tirana, Albania.

Aside from his professional acumen, Julien is an avid sports enthusiast, with a love for football, basketball, table tennis, and biking. A passionate supporter of Olympique de Marseille, he never misses a game.

What sets Julien apart is his passion for education through sport and his desire to continue learning and growing. This is why he was drawn to PLAY International Kosovo, where he will have the opportunity to work in a field that he finds truly appealing.

Despite having only arrived in Kosovo a few days ago, Julien is already impressed by the potential he sees in the country and the warm welcome he has received. He is excited to continue discovering more about Kosovo and its culture.

And now for the fun part - Julien's hidden talent. He is an expert in geography, able to recognize every flag of the world and locate every country on the map. It's no wonder we all love him here at PLAY!
