How to create bridges between people After the Second World War, the number of projects attempting to recreate links between countries through international heritage restoration sites increased. From this ideal, REMPART network was created in France in 1966, with a strong will to welcome volunteers from abroad on its restoration sites. Consisting of 180 local associations, the network organises voluntary workcamps in more than 300 heritage restoration sites all over France and welcomes thousands of volunteers each year.

ust as VCS does, REMPART promotes volunteerism, non-formal education and active citizenship. This is why we are more than happy to introduce you to our organisation, so we could have the chance to meet you one day, on one of our heritage sites!
A network of associations opened to the world For over 50 years, REMPART has federated associations acting for heritage preservation. The network gathers heritage preservation associations to coordinate and promote the voluntary workcamps that they set up. One of our tasks is to keep a close check on the quality of the projects and actions carried out by each of our members, which means monitoring the quality of the restoration activities and how volunteers are welcomed. (2 weeks / no previous knowledge…) For the last 15 years, REMPART’s policy has been to promote and develop international partnerships in answer to our partners’ requests, but also to further the aims which REMPART holds dear.
