Civic Service programme allowing youth (16-25 years old) to commit (6-12 months) to missions of general interest. It is a response to expectations from youth as environment is now their priority N°1 & also from the territories willing to take concrete actions to fight against the decline in biodiversity.

The project has 3 objectives:

1/ Enable youth to engage in environment (Being aware of current ecological issues, attending >5 days of training to better understand environment & carrying out actions through 1,500 nature projects incl. the plantation of 20,000 trees, fauna & flora observation, protection, waste collection, etc)

2/ Foster youth employability thanks to the skills developed during their Civic Service experience (Oral expression, respect for others, mastering the basics of citizenship)

3/ Strengthen impact of environmental associations by mobilising general public (Awareness-raising actions, nature workcamps).
