They make sure that the Challenge vibe is passed on before, during and after Challenge, that everyone has the most fun possible, that we can all grow into a big Challenge-family and they are always there for the Challengers. Together with the Lausanne Accueils they have created the Challenge dance (stay tuned!), so if you ever see two people dancing and singing to Challenge songs in front of a huge crowd of Challengers, those will most likely be our Accueils. 🚀
