THEME
Guided by the theme Volontariats Jeunesse et cohesion
sociale France Volontaires Philippines in collaboration with the
Embassy of France in the Philippines organized a two day event
to celebrate this day on October 7-8 2016. This
celebration aims to champion the spirit of volunteerism to the
youth.
In the Philippines, volunteerism is embedded in its culture with
the tradition of sharing and helping each other which shows
strong community spirit and cohesiveness. Volunteerism is
becoming a trend also for the Filipino youth today which in a
way proves that the Bayanihan spirit is still alive.
In other country, particularly in France, various volunteering
scheme is offered to the young people to promote
international solidarity which is being supported by the French
government. It is interesting to note that the youth plays a vital
role in bringing positive change in the society and important
to recognize their contribution as well.
As a volunteer organization, France Volontaires wishes to gather
together our international and local volunteers, different youth
organization, students and non-government organization and
government representative to discuss and share their ideas
about the culture of volunteerism all over the world.

VENUE
Participants have a break on the playground-Rossel Estabaya -
This year the event took place in the French School of Manila in the Eurocampus premises.
First step towards a partnership with the school, this alsosymbolizes the importance of youth in the future of international solidarity.
By organizing the French Volunteer Day at the LFM, France Voluntaires in the Philippines try to open the world of solidarity to the students, youth and French families.
Friday afternoon is part of the regular schedule for student but they were given the chance to participate in the forum, this also allowed an exchange with the parents as well as with teachers.
We opted to choose this venue, although far from Manila, the LFM has all the necessary infrastructure for an event such it as: conference room, covered exhibit space , sports field, parking.
The director of the French School of Manila has also involve its personnel at the disposal of France Volontaires during the event: guards, supervisors, technical staff, nurses, cleaning staff.

Photo Exhibit
During the month of July and August 2016, photographer, Patrick Rivera has made portraits of volunteers assigned in different part to the Philippines.
Through these faces, the exhibition reflects the diversity of the volunteers who chose to spend a few weeks or several years,to support a cause.
For some it was the first international experience, others are veterans of solidarity. The motivations are different, but above all, they are men and women engaged and volunteers.
