About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Created in 1920, Service Civil International (SCI) aims to promote peace, rapprochement between peoples, sustainable development and social justice. It does this by organising international solidarity projects that bring together volunteers from different cultural and social backgrounds. The SCI movement is made up of 43 branches and some forty partners around the world. The volunteer workcamp is SCI's main tool for learning about tolerance and mutual respect. La Guinguette de la Paix is a third place for collaboration among associations that is currently under development, featuring an activity room and a professional kitchen. Once a month, the SCI organizes a community meal there with local organizations and residents. Throughout the month, it also hosts activities and events organized by other associations in Lille.

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).
