Who are we ? We’ll tell you all about us !
14 years ago, Pierre-Yves Sanchis, founder of Youmatter, had a crazy project in mind: to help as many people as possible gain a better understanding of the ecological and social challenges we are facing.
But what for? To provide professionals, students and the general public with :
- the right information, to help them make informed individual and collective choices,
