Solidarités Jeunesses France
Solidarités Jeunesses is the French partner organisation of VAP.
The international workcamp is a very important part in the action undertaken by Solidarités Jeunesses. It is prepared long time in advance in the different regional offices and the National Secretariat.
The international workcamp is seen as a tool of local and personal development, tolerance and understanding between the different participants. An important part of our workcamps is the inclusion of people coming from disadvantaged backgrounds and it aims also to make the local population participate actively.
