20010-FR-108 - CONCORDIA Auvergne
Ecological tasks and social inclusion on workcamps
Concordia is a French national non-governmental and non-profit making organization, 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 organizing international workcamps of young volunteers.

The main objectives of Concordia are the following:
Education in helping young people to grow up by acquisition of collective life.
Culture in favoring the youth exchanges on an international level, always emphasizing the values of peace, friendship and mutual respect.
Social in taking part in concrete actions of solidarity, as well as supporting a civic attitude.
Social economy in contributing to realization of local development, in favor of the environment, patrimony, tourism and socio-educational animation.    

The Paris head office supports the eight regional offices activities in the Alps, Auvergne, Aquitaine, Bretagne, Normandy, Picardy, South-Southwest and Ile-de-France.
Concordia has the approval of the French Ministry of Youth and Sport and the Ministry of the Environment.

Project environment
The EVS project takes place in the region of Auvergne, center of France, in the main city which is called Clermont-Ferrand (140 000 inhabitants). Clermont Ferrand has acquired a lot of recent cultural and sportive infrastructures, the mediaeval town centre presents many historical heritage sites such as mediaveal houses, roman churches,  gothic cathedral, museums… The position of Clermont Ferrand in the centre of France facilitates the access to the mediterranean coast in the South, the atlantic ocean in the West,  the alps in the east and Paris in the North. Auvergne is a region of low mountain range with many natural areas.
Tasks and activities
The aim of this project is to promote the idea of environmental respect on work camps organized by the delegation, and particulary on a work camp organized with the natural regional park of “Volcans d’Auvergne”, on a nature reserve “le Rocher de la Jaquette”. In this context, tools have been developed by the association to help work camps leaders to develop actions to promote sustainable development (animations, sorting waste, responsible consumption ...). Volunteers will support this effort by educating leaders and by proposing original actions to implement on work camps.
The second aim of this project is to involve the volunteer on inclusion dimension of the work camps :

Effectively the Concordia team monitors every year young people with fewer opportunities, before, during and after the work camps (15 to 20 young people per season). But there is a real interest to include an EVS volunteer on the preparation of young people for their future voluntary project, in accordance with the EVS volunteer wishes.
In particular the activities deal with:
Promoting existing tools and develop new tools (new actions, animations ...) on environment and sustainable development issues before the work camps.
Preparing an ecological workcamp (design and installation of the camp, working with local partners).
Co-animating an ecological international workcamp with another leader (for that purpose we offer a workcamp leader training in June).
Working about the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities on international workcamps.
Participating to volunteering promoting events.
The detailed activities will be proposed by the volunteer according to his/her skills and interests and with the support of the team.
Requirements
Adaptation, to be communicative and easy to approach to the different audience, and young people with difficulties
Speak good English and/or French or to be motivated to learn French
Motivation for the theme of the sustainable development, and to work on a project of animation.
