HOSTING ORGANISATION
Concordia is an organisation of non-formal education which promotes intercultural exchanges. Our
traditional activity is the international work camps, and one of its main goals is to allow participants to get
open-minded and develop non-formal skills as autonomy and self-confidence, by meeting and living during
few weeks with people from all over the world with different cultural and social background.
This Training Course comes from our wish to mix intercultural exchanges with the topic of breaking borders
and vanishing stereotypes in young people minds.
We hope that youngsters from your organisations will be motivated to tackle these issues with us, confront
their points of view and make this Training Course the most fascinating we can as one more step for
building the society free from borders and stereotypes!
