UWC France - United World Colleges
Youth Leadership Camp
UWC France – United World Colleges. This educational movement was founded in the sixties and promotes dialogue and peace. It helps prepare young people to face the challenges of today’s world and build tomorrow’s world on the basis of just, equitable and ethical values. UWC currently comprises 13 secondary education establishments and 130 national committees on the five continents.
In July 2010, the Accor Foundation will support the third edition of UWC France’s Summer Camp in collaboration with Participe Future, an association for marine conservation. Young people, mostly scholarship students, from 20 different countries sail around the Mediterranean for 13 days on the association’s sailing boats.
The camp provides the opportunities for these young people to take part in a host of activities (workshops-debates, marine conservation projects, social services and citizenship schemes, sports activities, etc.) that foster awareness of their responsibility as world citizens and encourage intercultural experiences.
Sophie Stabile, CFO Accor Hospitality, is very involved with this association, where she helps select young people for the international colleges and for the summer camp.
This is a “Training and insertion” project.
The Foundation’s contribution: €11,500.
