Getting involved with charities

CHARITIES

You’ d like to volunteer and help. Volunteering is simple. It's about giving your time to do something useful, without getting paid. There is a huge variety of volunteering opportunities available all around the world. Choose a charity and then a programme or destination you’d like to get involved in. Prepare yourselves to speak about it or to answer questions ( about the charity, your motives, duration, destination, activities, goals, etc.)

Concordia first started in 1943 during the second world war when young people were encouraged to support the war effort by gathering fruit and crops in the field. After the war young people from Europe were invited to take part in a scheme in order to rebuild international friendships and to promote peace.
