Give meaning to the Advent Calendar!

 

This year, the Impact Advent Calendar is a special opportunity to appreciate all the actions taken, the highlights, the anecdotes, the associations helped… giving you the chance to take action too.

Taking part in these great initiatives helps to increase their economic, social and environmental impact!

 

On 1 December, we’re sharing with you a figure that’s particularly close to our hearts: 292 volunteers trained to go on a Civic Service mission with International Impact!

The same number of volunteers have been trained in one of the following two workshops: the Climate Fresco and/or the 2tonnes workshop. At International Impact, as well as solidarity, ecological concerns and the commitment that goes with them are at the heart of our training.

If you too would like to enjoy a unique Civic Service experience, get involved and apply for the assignment you like on our website by clicking here.

 

This year, International Impact helped 102 organisations to take on Civic Service volunteers.

We are proud to have contributed to the development and strengthening of solidarity projects in France, Europe and around the world. Our raison d’être ‘to maximise the impact of solidarity actions’ takes on its full meaning!

Thank you to all our partners for the quality of the missions offered to our volunteers. The list of our partners is available on our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

Since 2023, International Impact has decided to take environmental issues a step further and become an aggregator and amplifier of environmental initiatives.

On 29 April this year, the NGO launched its Climate Commission to discuss and take action on various environmental issues.

In addition to developing more environmental civic service missions and supporting project leaders committed to the environment, International Impact is rolling out initiatives to raise awareness of environmental issues among its volunteers, partners and the general public.

For the third day of December, we’re sharing a list of tools to support you in your commitments here.

Now it’s your turn!

 

International Impact supports all solidarity initiatives, even travellers!

For this Wednesday 4 December, we are highlighting the We Slow Tech project. Théobald and Antoine, two students from Mines Paris, decided to cycle across Europe for 5 months to meet those involved in the slow-tech approach, share their experiences and discoveries and contribute to its development. Well done to them! In your opinion, how many kilometres did they cover?

Do you have a project for a solidarity trip? Get in touch with International Impact, who can help you!

 

On this World Volunteer Day, we are proud of our first year of partnership with MyFarm in The Gambia.

MyFarm is a farm whose mission is to improve livelihoods in Africa and around the world, through education, agricultural innovation, the environment and more.

Our 1st volunteer was able to help develop methods that can be scaled up and replicated in other places. It’s fantastic! We have new Civic Service missions available here.
