Our international services
ECTI Leader in international senior volunteering
International action was fundamental to create ECTI. Founded in 1974 by a French senior official at the United Nations, the association initially focused on providing support to emerging countries. Thus ECTI built a strong network of experts specialized in international cooperation. This commitment goes on today and has been the core of our association for over 50 years.
