About the project

ESC: Centre Albert Schweitzer - Auberge de jeunesse

📝 Detailed information

💼 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.

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).
