The Secours Populaire Français organized its annual 'Copain du Monde' solidarity camp in Moselle, France, from July 20 to 26, 2026. The camp brought together 40 children aged 8 to 12 from various backgrounds, including those from families facing financial difficulties, to promote solidarity and mutual aid.
Activities included workshops on citizenship, environmental awareness, and team-building exercises. The children participated in a collective project to create a mural representing their vision of a united world, which was unveiled at the end of the camp.
The camp was staffed by 10 volunteers from the Secours Populaire, who supervised the children and led the activities. The organization emphasized that the camp aimed to give children a break from daily challenges while fostering values of sharing and respect.
According to the Secours Populaire, the camp was fully booked, reflecting the high demand for such initiatives in the region. The organization plans to expand the program next year to accommodate more children.
