The Grouping of European Campuses
Created in February 1992, the GEC is the most recent of
a family of three voluntary initiative associations that
share the common focus of young people, informal education
and sustainable development throughout Europe.
The GECs initial purpose was to bring together the
different partners involved in the first campuses, which
were at the time under the responsibility of the APARE
for those working in the area of heritage and under the
CME for those working on the environment. The GEC was
a forum for discussion and consultation.
The GEC rapidly began to develop its own activities in
the area of international voluntary initiatives for the
environment and heritage, taking over the organisation
of campuses and launching its own initiatives in the context
of the European Voluntary Service. These are generally
held in cooperation with APARE and CME projects (for example,
providing the CME with a volunteer, organising a campus
with partners of the RINAMED programme, etc.). |
