Jeunesses is composed of 7 regional delegations: Ile-de-France, Franche-Comté,
Languedoc-Roussillon, PACA, Auvergne, Poitou-Charentes and Midi-Pyrénées.
Moreover it cooperates with partners in the regions of Bretagne, Lorraine and

The
international workcamp is a very important part in the action undertaken by Solidarités
Jeunesses. It is prepared a long time in advance in the different regional offices
and the National Secretariat.
The international workcamp, open to volunteers
of any age, is seen as a tool of local and personal development, tolerance and
understanding between the different participants. Furthermore, we lay emphasis
on the inclusion of people coming from disadvantaged areas. The workcamps promote
the active participation of the local population. Type
