Types of action
1. Project development via concrete action
A group of any size (small or large) participates in the development and realization of an organization’s projects via concrete action for the organization’s benefit or that of its beneficiaries.
Examples: upkeep on an urban farm, painting or light renovation of facilities, preparation of meals for those in need

2. Accompaniment of a particular community
A group of any size (small or large) accompanies a particular group in need (people with disabilities, migrants, women in need, etc) on a social or cultural outing.
Examples: a cultural or athletic outing with young people with mental disabilities, an afternoon with refugee families, playing board games or dancing at a senior center

3. Action on-site at your workplace
Your company welcomes one of our partner organizations to your workplace, where the event will take place. The hours will be flexible to allow your employees to come spend an hour or two of their workday with the organization. The action is accessible to a larger number of your coworkers and allows them to discover the company’s CSR policy.
Examples: packing hygiene kits for people in need
