« If my colleague Alexandre de B. never had told me that it was the collection days of the « Restos du Coeur » I would have skipped it completely! Me and a few colleagues spent half a day in a supermarket to motivate people to donate first necessity items for people in need. Socially eye-opening and very useful for this charitable organisation, I will do it again! »

« I am really glad Dataiku is offering us the opportunity to participate in projects and use our time to feel very useful for others – Spending one morning trying to collect and sensitize people to “Les Restos du Coeur” was really interesting ! It’s also the occasion to talk sometimes with people and being heavily supported :rougir: I will definitely do it again for the next collect! »

« It’s so great to be given the opportunity to actually do something instead of procrastinating. It’s even better to be given that chance by your employer. This initiative was really well received and perceived by most the people we had the chance to meet during that special day and they all requested for more events like that.
