CONCORDIA
Concordia is a French national non-governmental and non-profit making organisation, founded in
1950 by English, German and French youngsters. Their aim was to enhance the values of tolerance
and peace after the 2nd world war by organising international workcamps of young volunteers.
The main objectives of Concordia are the following:
Education i-e helping young people to grow up by acquisition of collective life.
Culture i-e favouring the youth exchanges on an international level, always emphasizing the values
of peace, friendship and mutual respect.
Social i-e taking part in concrete actions of solidarity, as well as supporting a civic attitude
Social economy i-e contributing to realisation of local development, in favour of the environment,
patrimony, tourism and socio-educational animation.
Workcamps are a perfect tool to reach these goals:
Participating in a workcamp means working voluntarily during three weeks at a project of a common
utility, such as environment, archaeology, culture, patrimony. It is a form of informal education, but
also an opportunity to discover a new region and its inhabitants. The participants get to know the
real life of a small community, as well as the culture and customs of other volunteers, who come
from all around the world. Every year Concordia gives the opportunity to more than 1000 French
youths to get involved in its partner projects abroad and hosts around 1200 foreign volunteers on its
own workcamps in France.
Concordia is a member of three major international networks and one national which support
voluntary service:
- The Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations which is a network of 30 national
organisations in 20 countries and the Co-ordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service
(CCIVS) which is an organisation founded under the aegis of UNESCO in 1948 and coordinates about
300 organisations worldwide.
- The National Association COTRAVAUX (Co-ordination of French Voluntary Work organisations).
- The Association of Voluntary Service Association (AVSO) a European network with the
goal of improving European voluntary service.
The other activities of the association continue throughout the year with weekend or short holiday
workcamps, mid and long term voluntary service, integration of people with difficulties, study and
activity groups (North-South, International), sending and hosting volunteers of European Voluntary
Service. Concordia also organises various trainings throughout the year.
Those who wish to be even more involved in Concordia’s activities can be elected at the
management committee; Concordia is a democratic organisation, led by dynamic and motivated
volunteers as well as young people, and supported by paid staff. Today the management committee
counts 15 members, there are 1800 subscribers, 25 employees and 200 activity leaders.
The Paris head office supports the eight regional offices activities i-e the Alps, Auvergne, Aquitaine,
Normandy, Picardy, South-Southwest, Ile-de-France and Britanny.
Concordia has the approval of the French Ministry of Youth and Sport and the Ministry of the
Environment.

IDEAS TO ACT: Concordia's charter for international workcamps
The aim of this charter is to state clearly the conditions considered by Concordia as the essential
elements of the international workcamp. This charter has the value of commitment.
Concordia aims:
a- To contribute to the enhancement of social life through the involvement of French and foreign
volunteers in public projects of common interest;
b- To encourage the circulation of people and ideas through global exchanges in the interests of
international understanding and peace;
c- To promote an educational project/promote its educative mission through encouraging active
citizenship, which is essential for a democratic, united and participatory society.
The rural area is the primary field of activity of the association.
It is in this context that Concordia sets up and organizes international workcamps, guided by five
criteria:
1. The workcamp is a place of intercultural meetings
The international workcamp representing the mixture of different nationalities and social
backgrounds, the encounter of different generations, the confrontation of urban and rural cultures,
the willingness to integrate oneself as full as possible into the life of the hosting area and
characterised by a communal life:
Is a place of intercultural meetings in the perspective of a voluntary discover of others;
Consequently encourages international understanding, tolerance and international friendship;
Encourages peaceful resolution of conflicts through learning to discover and respect the differences.
2. The workcamp necessarily participates in the project of general interest.
The international workcamps of young volunteers allow to develop educational, social and cultural
values, as well as collective solidarity. For that purpose the following principals are applied:
Workcamps are organised "with", but not "for" public bodies, which are the guarantors of general
interests;
The result of the workcamps is durable equipment or facilities.
The result of this work accomplished in partnership is open to everybody.
That is why we act in different fields: architectural heritage as well as natural heritage, local area or
social life heritage.
Our concern for general interests is also reflected in the choice of our partners for the organisation
of exchange of volunteers.
Concordia does not act for the private sector.
3. The workcamp for a dynamic local development
The preparation and organisation of the workcamp stimulate the emergence of local initiatives in
the spirit of economic, social and cultural revitalisation;
It allows to rally volunteers for the preservation of cultural, natural or architectural heritage.
Therefore, local development of a small area or a larger territory represents for Concordia an
economic, social and cultural dimension.
Thus, the choice and implementation of the projects are based on the mobilisation of local partners,
associations, public bodies and human resources, which constitutes the guarantee of the durability
of actions.
5/57
4. The workcamp encourages the development of citizenship
International workcamps of young volunteers develop citizens through:
The arrangement of the functioning of the workcamp, i.e. the rules to be adopted by the group in
order to jointly attain the set objectives;
The development of critical mind and the application of a dialogue as a means of conflict resolution;
The daily encounter with active and participatory democracy in order to avoid any sort of
arbitrariness and prejudice;
bringing together young people and local representatives.
5. The international workcamp is a place of educative process and work
Workcamps for young volunteers must lead to a high quality, valuable and properly finished work,
which should be beneficial to the environment and a given area.
Although the organisation of workcamps requires the use of financial resources, they constitute
"non commercial acts", i.e. the acts that are not remunerated.
The international workcamp is a place of educative process, which leads to:
The acquisition of technical skills through manual work, know-how and work-organisation;
Social development through the respect of the others, the capacity of self-expression, listening and
living in community;
Political development through learning to apply participatory democracy, peaceful resolution of
conflicts and intercultural understanding.
We are taking steps to ensure that the dynamics of our charter would be present:
During the training of our leaders and staff of associations;
During the presentation of our projects to our partners, volunteers and the media;
During workcamps;
During the meetings with the local population.
The workcamp contributes to the transformation of social relationships thanks to individual and
collective exchanges. The workcamp is not an end in itself, but a means to promote values, which
should bring transformation both on the individual and the collective level.
This charter has been adopted in the Meeting of the Board members, which took place on 29 May
1994
6/57
THE COMMITMENTS OF CONCORDIA
TOWARDS THE VOLUNTEERS, ON INTERNATIONAL WORKCAMPS ARE :
 To propose workcamps that work for peace, solidarity, friendships, citizenship, tolerance
and respect for others and the environement.
 To favour local development in a village, a micro-region or disctrict with an emphasis on
rural areas
 To have one or two leaders trained by Concordia on each project who actively participate in
the workcamp. The leadership of the workcamp favours the emergence of a group dynamic
which should be a school of democracy, participation, responsibility, encouraging the spirit
of active citizenship, and the development of the individual.
 The gives the impetus to the group, guiding the volunteers towards taking responsibility for
the collective life.
 The leaders guarantee the values of Concordia and the application of the charter.
 The leaders will be able to explain for whom and why a project of general interest (as
opposed to private interest) leads to local and social development.
 The project should be useful to the community by improving the natural and cultural
heritage.
 To encourage the local population to continue the project in the future
 To propose environemental projects that respect nature (selective cutting, environmentally
friendly maintenance)
 To give the opportunity of discovering and learning new manual techniques.
 To propose workcamps of French and foreign volunteers while trying to reach a balance in
the number of men and women.
 To promise to give extra information about workcamps with specific exchange details.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT CONCORDIA’S WORKCAMPS
Concordia’s international workcamps are always organised in co-operation with either local
authorities or local organisations; the projects are designed to respond to needs of the community
and are always for the common good.
Groups have between 15 and 20 participants. Concordia wants to have 1/3 of French volunteers.
Meetings with the local population are an important part of the projects. Also we try in each
workcamp to mobilise young people from the village for an active participation to the workcamp.
Sometimes they are coming only for leisure time, sometimes they participate also to the work, and
sometimes they to be totally part of the project. In general it’s their first « international
experience ».
The common language is English during our workcamps, if it’s a French speaking camp it is
specified.
Two coordinators are present in each workcamp: one for the group life, and another for technical
work. They will be either French or they will come from our partners associations abroad (please see
below the call for coordinators). Sometimes only one is present (a French coordinator for small
groups). Concordia’ French coordinators participate in a training week organised by Concordia and
the international coordinators follow a training in their partners’ countries (if they don’t have any
experience of coordination). All coordinators manage the budget for food, leisure, excursions, etc.
with the group.
With Concordia, work time is about 6 hours a day, but in fact it is more important to attain the
work’s objective, defined between the local partner and Concordia.
Leisure time is not planned before: it will be organised by the group with the local population and it
will be based on the discovery of the region. Most of the time, camps are in small isolated villages
and there is not necessarily a car available on the camp: volunteers should be ready to accept that.
General accommodation is basic: a common room for sleeping and eating. Volunteers cook for
themselves; sometimes they are sleeping on the floor and sometimes in tents (see the description of
each workcamp).
Volunteers should bring a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat, work clothes, warm clothes, sport shoes,
gloves…Please notice that it’s easier to have a backpack, especially in the mountains! 
We welcome some volunteers with special needs in our workcamps. If your volunteers have special
needs, please contact us. We will do our best to find a way to host them.
8/57
CALL FOR WORKCAMP CAMP LEADER
Experience a real learning opportunity being a workcamp camp leader in Concordia!
Concordia’s international workcamps have the aim to promote peace, solidarity, friendships, active
citizenship, tolerance and respect for others and the environment. Coordinating a workcamp means
working voluntarily during three weeks in a project of common utility, such as environment,
archaeology, culture, patrimony and discovering a new region and its inhabitants.
Through this experience you will develop important skills that you will use in your professional life
such as project and team management, you will improve your English and French, and you will
discover the associative sector.
Each workcamp will be composed of 12 to 20 participants. One third of them will be French
volunteers. The workcamps common language is English. Of course, if you have good bases of
French, it will be easier to communicate.
Two leaders will be present in each workcamp:
- One for the group life (who will coordinate the group in the organisation of the daily life),
- Another one for technical work (who will transfer his technical know-how to the volunteers).
They will assure:
- The integration of all the participants;
- The learning of the technical and social skills;
- The contact with the local population and the representative of the local Municipality (if the
international coordinator does not speak well French, the French coordinator will mostly
cover this role).
Leisure time is not planned before: it will be organised by the group with the local population and it
will be based on the discovery of the region. Most of the time, camps are in small isolated villages
and there is not necessarily a car available on the camp: future coordinators should be ready to
accept that.
Conditions
- Workcamp camp leaders have some particular responsibilities but they will be considered
volunteers it means that they won’t be paid.
- Accommodation and subsistence are covered as the coordinators will sleep and eat at the
workcamp.
- Transports’ cost in France are covered (for a maximum of 200 € for one way and return).
Who can be a camp leader?
We don’t ask any particular certificate but we ask them to have some bases of oral French (the main
WorkCamp language is English), to be motivated and to be dynamic! If you have any previous
experience as a camp leader you will be the perfect person for our workcamp. It will be great if
candidate will participate in a training for camp leaders in his/her own country and organisation.
Did you decide to get involved? Please contact us!
Please fill up the application form and send it to your contact organization in your country.
They will send it to us.

CONCORDIA TEENAGE WORKCAMPS (15-17 YEARS OLD)
Concordia has been organising workcamps for teenagers for some 50 Years. We always have the general goal to
permit the mobility of youth of all publics at all age. The teenager exchanges need to be taken into consideration
inside of partnership relations. We truly believe that to be able to exchange teenager volunteers, and explain to
the volunteer and even to the parents what to expect, it is really important that we communicate about what
each organisation means when they talk about a teenager workcamp.
In France, activities for minors are protected by the law which gives a frame. These rules facilitate or determine
the organisation of workcamps, leisure activities, health and safety of the volunteer, and also the skills necessary
for the group leaders.
The camp language is mainly English with some French. The volunteers work on a concrete project, doing about
25/30 hours per week.
French legislation changed in 2006 hardening rules, consequently we are organizing teenage workcamps
only for teenagers between 15 and 17 years old and no other teen places will be offered.
Moreover, teenagers participating in teenage workcamps will be charged of 165€ extra fees to cover the
costs of qualified coordinators who will lead the workcamps. Our proposal is that each organisation will pay
the total amount corresponding to teens exchange after season by bank transfer.
The leader team is composed of 2 to 3 persons who are qualified in leading and they are responsible at all
times for the volunteers.
Teenagers are taken in charge on their arrival at the meeting point (that will be mentioned in the info sheet)
and they can’t leave the camp without a written authorisation signed by their parents and sent to our
organisation.
According to the French law we cannot host teenagers without the Medical fact sheet anymore. This is why we
ask you to send a copy of the Medical Fact sheet together with the VEF (in pdf by e-mail if possible, or by fax).
Please note that we won’t be able to accept your volunteers if we don’t get it together with the VEF. Sorry for the
inconvenience!
The confirmation slip with arrival details and the parental authorization should be sent at least 10 days before
the camp starts.
As all volunteers taking part in our workcamps, minors are asked to be volunteers too. They themselves
must take the decision to participate because we are expecting from all volunteers a certain commitment to
participate at the workcamp as well as the collective task of group life (washing the dishes, cooking,
cleaning the accommodation etc), and not ask the leader to do everything, they will have to be proactive
and participative in all aspects of the workcamps.
Also, as the number of teenagers demands are increasing and the number of workcamps decreasing, we may
have to privilege French teenagers on our workcamps as we cannot easily send them abroad. As much as we can,
we will try our best to find the balance between French and foreigners volunteers.
A teenager camp has some special rules such as the no possibility to work on scaffolding (or only under specific
rules and regulations). There is clearly a difference between the laws and the reality of a workcamp because we
are dealing with international volunteers with different cultural backgrounds linked to rules, regulations and
limits for teenagers and also special regulations within each country organising a teenager camp.
It is really hard for the local host to change their habits so the volunteers must be prepared or at least aware of
cultural changes. It is the same when it comes to what we expect from a teenage volunteer and what rights he or
she may have in one country but not in another: therefore we may expect the minor in France to have a certain
degree of autonomy and not expect that the leaders will be like their parents but at the same time, they will
represent the authority and the volunteer will have to follow the rules.
