🏢 About the local organisation

Statutory object : CONCORDIA is a non-profit organisation for Youth and Popular Education founded in 1950 with the aim to promote international exchanges of young volunteers. Concordia's objectives are : - To contribute to the animation of the social life by the participation of French and foreign volunteers in the realization of civil works of general interest. - To promote the circulation of people and ideas through international exchanges in order to develop knowledge, mutual understanding and peace. - To promote an education project, encouraging an active citizenship of people for a democratic, united and participatory society. Organization: Concordia has a national headquarters and 11 delegations spread throughout France. Concordia Midi Pyrénées is the local office in the South-Western area surrounding Toulouse. We are specialized in hosting short and long-term volunteering projects, such as : • ESC programs (youth exchanges and hosting long-term ESC volunteers) • international workcamps, • local specific youth programs, • rural development projects with local stakeholders and institutions, • awareness education workshops. As of September 2021 Concordia Midi Pyrénées is a team of about 40 active members (see attached file : map of Concordia Midi Pyrénées members).

💼 What the programme involves

Come join one of the biggest solidarity movement in France, but also in the world! You will participate in an international workcamp of volunteers with the Emmaus community in Escalquens, near Toulouse, in the South West of France. 5 days a week (Tuesday to Saturday), you will help and work with the companions and the volunteers of Emmaus to develop the economic, social and solidarity activity: upgrading waste, receiving and sorting donations, and re-selling second-hand objects. You will actively participate in the organization of the great clearance sale that will take place towards the end of august. You will also actively take part in the organization of the “La Grande Braderie”, a big second flea market event, that could take place end of August. You will have two resting days to do activities and discover places around.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The companions will welcome you at their community. To share the same living place with the companions means that you have to respect the inners rules and adapt yourself to the modalities of the collective life in the community. You will stay in individual tents on the site of Emmaus Escalquens. You will have access to bathrooms and showers. You will share meals with the Emmaus companions and share the everyday life tasks with the companions: prepare the meals, clean and tidy the different places. Washing machines and Wifi are available at the accommodation.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
