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 which support voluntary service: The Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations which is a network of 30 national organisations in 20 countries and CCIVS (Co-ordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service) 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). - AVSO (Association of Voluntary Service Association) 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 et Breatagne.

Concordia has the approval of the French Ministry of Youth and Sport and the Ministry of the Environment.

4/85 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.

5/85 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

6/85 WHAT DO 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, the average is 17. Concordia wants to have 1/3 of French volunteers and a maximum of 2 teenagers per group. 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 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) plus a 2 days training in France before the workcamp. 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.

7/85 CONCORDIA FRANCE CALL FOR WORKCAMP’S COORDINATORS

Experience a real learning opportunity being workcamp’s coordinator for 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 at 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 you will discover the associative sector.

Each workcamp will be composed of 12 to 20 participants. One third of them will be French volunteers and a maximum of 5 participants will have 17 years old. 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), 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’s coordinators have some particular responsibilities but they will be considered volunteers as the other, 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 workcamp’s coordinator ? We don’t ask any particular certificate but we ask them in general to have some bases of oral French (the main workcamp’s language is English), to be motivated and to be dynamic! If you have any previous experience as workcamp’s coordinator you will be the perfect person for our workcamp.

Training’s sessions: Concordia will organize two training’s sessions in France in order to prepare the coordinators. One session on the 03 July/04 July and the other one on the 31 July/01 August. Dates have to be confirmed.

15/85 CONCORDIA TEENAGE WORKCAMPS 2010 (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 this year we are organizing teenage workcamps only for teenagers between 15 and 17 years old and any other teen places will be offered. Moreover, teenagers participating in teenage workcamps will be charged of 150€ extra fees to cover the costs of qualified coordinators who will lead the workcamps. Our proposal is that each organisation will pay total amount corresponding to teens’ exchange after season.

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 new 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

16/85 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.

Its valorisation will add up to the collection of other memory sites such as the internment camps amongst which is the Drancy’s camp located two kilometers away. Bobigny became the « deportation train station» on 18 July 1943, when a first convoy of 1126 prisoners took the direction of Germany, towards one of its horror camps. Twenty other convoys followed during the war, taking 22407 persons away, of which only 1515 came back. Set back from the travellers building, the goods train station was the ultimate stage before Auschwitz. When the project, which was first mentioned twenty years ago, will come to an end, the wasteland will not only be a place of memory. It will also have an educational vocation and will host cultural events.. Besides the technical work, you will attend meetings, exchange and debate with regard to the intercultural dialogue and the common memory animated by experts on those issues. WORK: Clearance and valorisation of the main railway track and its surroundings. LANGUAGE: English LOCATION: Bobigny – Parisian Suburb ACCOMMODATION: Housing TERMINAL: Bobigny (tube station)
