✈️ An immersion that transforms: the experience of Magou, student (and almost eco pro) with Trashybag Africa :
At only 23 years old, Magou, a dynamic and curious student, made the choice to live a unique professional immersion in Ghana thanks to Sailing Stone. An internship like no other, in a committed company, which allowed him to give meaning back to his studies… and reconnect with his origins.
🌿 An Environmental Mission at the Heart of Ghana
Magou joined Trashybag Africa, an innovative social enterprise based in Accra. His mission? Reuse plastic waste to make eco-friendly bags and accessories. An activity with a high environmental impact, but also human, which raises awareness in local communities to protect the planet.
“It was the perfect opportunity to reconnect with my roots while contributing to a meaningful project.” – Magou
👥 A Human, Collaborative, and Inspiring Experience
One of the most powerful parts of her internship was working in a warm, multicultural, and passionate team.
From daily exchanges to community workshops, every shared moment left a lasting impression on Magou.
“We shared our ideas with enthusiasm. I realized that even small actions can make a real difference for our planet.” – Magou
💡 An internship, but above all a trigger
Beyond the professional skills acquired, this experience allowed Magou to develop a new sensitivity around sustainable development and citizen engagement
“This internship reconnected me with my roots and gave me a new passion for sustainability. I left with unforgettable memories and precious friendships.” – Magou
