Supporter for the Management Boards of UNESCO protected sites in Vietnam

SJ Vietnam operates through a network of national non-profit organizations and partner organizations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South and North America, and Australia. It organizes short-term and long-term international projects, actions of social integration, training activities, international solidarity actions and runs small Youth centers in Hanoi. SJ Vietnam is a full member of UNESCO – CCIVS and NVDA. Through these actions, SJ Vietnam aims to promote: - The voluntary participation of all, particularly youth and those in socially disadvantaged situations, in local, national and international life. - Local development that takes into consideration the needs of the individual, the environment and cultural heritage. - The breakdown of barriers between generations, cultures and nations. - A concrete construction of peace. SJ Vietnam mobilizes young people themselves to bring the values of tolerance and respects for all human beings without any political or ideological cleavage. The management and activities of the organization are open to all young people without any forms of discrimination: SJ Vietnam selects its volunteers based on their motivations and skills. For each activity, national or international, it tries to manage the lowest cost possible so it can be accessible to everybody. Basically, the activities of the hosting projects, which are organized with volunteers, are work-camps (renovation, masonry, carpentry, joinery, teaching, children activities, environment protection, painting, art performance, etc) and long-term projects (local development).
