📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The International Albert Schweitzer Center is an institution that pays tribute to the memory and legacy of Albert Schweitzer, a prominent 20th-century physician, philosopher, theologian, and musician. Located in Gunsbach, Alsace, France, the center aims to perpetuate Schweitzer's humanitarian ideals and values of peace and brotherhood.

This center typically includes a museum dedicated to Albert Schweitzer's life and work, highlighting his achievements in the fields of medicine, philosophy, and music. It also offers educational programs and conferences that celebrate Schweitzer's message and promote intercultural understanding, global solidarity, and humanitarian engagement.

As a place of remembrance and reflection, the International Albert Schweitzer Center attracts visitors from around the world who come to learn more about the life and legacy of this great humanist.

💼 What the programme involves

The ‘Centre International Albert Schweitzer’ is depending from the national service for the Maintenance of German Military Tombs (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge). It’s located near the german military cemetery (1939-1945) of Niederbronn-les-Bains. Its first function is to be a youth hostel and it has a capacity of 96 beds. Its objectives are to develop an intercultural work of memory in bringing visitors on sites where the french-german and European history has take place. This work helps also to question about international and national politic actualities. In addition the CIAS organises, hosts and follows French-german and international projects, in schools times and in holidays. Specific programs can be proposed to groups depending on their needs (for example linguistic animation, cooperation games, thematic weeks…) Finally, sport and cultural associations can rent the Centre for their activities.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
