About makesense - Marseille, France

A global community that connects engaged citizens, entrepreneurs and organizations to build an inclusive and sustainable society together.

Country focus

In Marseille, scholars can contribute to ageing well (mobility, accessibility, social bonds, co-living solutions with public institutions and field actors) and preserving sea biodiversity (supporting NGOs to reduce waste and plastics, mobilise volunteers, and drive behaviour change). You’ll co-design and pilot practical actions with local partners across city and coastal communities.
