📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Local Mission and the Youth Information Desk are two organizations taking care of the Youth coming from Issoudun. The Local Mission, within the “Youth guaranty” program, organizes projects for youth in inclusion. The Youth Information Desk inform and guide youth in projects connected to young people in general, and especially projects on mobility and European citizenship.
Concordia has already organised a workcamp two years ago, in partnership with both of these organizations. We would like to continue this project to gather young people from Issoudun and people coming from abroad in a workcamp.
The workcamp group could take part in the “Summer Tuesdays”, an outdoor festival open to everyone in July. Some collective time: animations, exchanges, give the possibility to share and discover the life of young people from Issoudun, their leisure activities and local initiatives.
