Most people on this planet are born in one country and live there for the rest of their lives. Some of us are lucky enough to travel and interact with foreign cultures but how often you truly get to live the local culture to actually take up the life of someone in the country, meet their friends and stay in their home? Probably never.
But, if there’s one thing we have learned while traveling is that deeply connecting with the local culture could be one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.

Beyond the discovery of the destination, it is above all the individual and collective experiences that we would like to give to the participants under our responsibility. We want to lead them out of their comfortable habits, to meet others, to meet themselves.
Our educational will is part of time by accompanying participants, these citizens of tomorrow, in the construction of their identity.
That is why creating links between peoples is our spearhead.

An organised adventure

An organised adventure

  • A human-sized group allowing the team to focus on each Participant (often between 10 and 25 participants).
  • Knowledge of the field, bookings provided by the permanent Milna team.
  • A diversity of projects away from the formatted travel agencies standard.
  • Reliable providers for many years.
  • Reasoned projects: the objective of Milna is not to “consume the destination”. A project is also a vacation time whose rhythm is adapted to the participants.

Taking care of the group

Taking care of the group

  • The Milna Person(s) listens to the participants and handle the groups during all the accompanied projects duration.
  • 1 adult for 10 participants and the ratio is often lower (always a minimum of 2 adults with each group)
  • A demanding and egalitarian recruitment process for Milna Person(s).
  • A team composition done by Milna. We assign each person according to their experience, their skills and the stakes of the project to form complementary teams.
  • A progressive support for Milna Person(s) provided by the Permanent Milna team before, during and after the project.

To make it easy

To make it easy

  • A health and travel insurance protecting you during your participation to the project is compulsory to participate to our projects.
  • Transparent rates displayed online.
  • We reply to all type of questions (visa, families, cultures…)
  • Different mode and currencies of payment possible according to your location: Card, bank transfer, cheque, crypto…
  • A happy team to advise you honestly.

Milna 24

Milna 24

Milna 24, is our 24-hour emergency service available during the course of the project in order to:

  • Monitor the progress of each project,
  • Provide support when the team encounters a difficulty or imponderable (educational, technical, medical, administrative).
  • Facilitate the link between the different protagonists of a project: the participants, the team, the parents, the institutions.
  • A communication and sharing tool for each project, updated very regularly by the participants and the Milna team with articles and photos, where the loved ones have the opportunity to interact with.

Secured

Secured

  • Our obsession: the moral, physical and emotional security of our participants.
  • Our projects are created and supervised by the Milna team having official French qualifications to handle projects for minors.
  • A health and geopolitical watch with the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and by reporting the presence of our groups abroad.
  • Non-negotiable rules of living together for all our projects.

Responsible traveler

Responsible traveler

  • Soft modes of travel, by bicycle, on foot. We also offer projects with train transportation. We promote the consumption of local resources (meals, transport).
  • Community immersion: many of our projects offer interactions with the locals, homestay accommodation, discovery and sharing of daily activities.
  • A participatory project: some of our projects offer involvement in a local social, cultural or environmental project based on the real needs of the inhabitants.
  • We limit our environmental impact as much as possible.

The Milna team is a state of mind where the words “adventure, solidarity, creativity, know-how” resonate on a daily basis. We are an involved team, with very different backgrounds, a source of rich and varied exchanges! We do not move without our backpack, always ready to discover new The Milna team is also a summer staff that helps us finalize the preparation of our projects by accompanying the teams of supervisors as closely as possible before their departure for the project.

They are by our side every project

Milna team is also very involved supervisors whether on the project or with us during the summer. The educational team, with their benevolent ears, brings a reflection around the management of a group, the “gear” team manages all the camping equipment, the “hands-on” help with the logistics of departures/returns from stays, Milna 24h responds calmly 24 hours a day to any questions from the teams staying there: the whole Milna tribe!
