General Information
L'AOCDTF est une association de type loi 1901, reconnue d’utilité publique ; c’est-à-dire que nous sommes reconnus capables de nous mobiliser pour une cause d’intérêt général : celle du devenir des jeunes et des métiers. Le comité intergouvernemental des membres de l’Unesco, réuni du 15 au 19 novembre 2010 à Nairobi (Kenya), a inscrit le Compagnonnage, réseau de transmission des savoirs et des identités par le métier, sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel.
Mission and Objectives

En effet, le Compagnonnage constitue un système de transmission des connaissances par l’apprentissage et la formation tout au long de la vie qui s’adapte sans cesse à l’évolution des environnements sociaux.
Les Compagnons du Devoir proposent aux jeunes un épanouissement personnel et une ascension sociale, basés sur la transmission des connaissances, la rencontre et la mobilité : le « Tour de France », ouvert aux cinq continents, qui permet de devenir « Compagnon du Devoir ».
L’objectif principal du Tour de France demeure la volonté d’acquérir par le voyage, au rythme d’un ou deux changements de ville par an (et donc d’entreprise), des techniques professionnelles différentes et complémentaires, ainsi qu’une formation culturelle très variée.
Actuellement, plus de 3200 jeunes effectuent leur Tour de France, chaque année environ 400 d’entre eux séjournent dans plus de 30 pays, en dehors de l’hexagone, pour des périodes de 6 mois à un an.
Savoir voyager, c’est aussi savoir accueillir, les Compagnons du Devoir ouvrent leurs portes aux jeunes des pays qui souhaitent vivre une expérience professionnelle et humaine sur le Tour de France.

Main Projects / Activities

En 2010 est né au sein de l'association des Compagnons du devoir le projet de "Compagnonnage du Bassin Méditérannéen".
L'idée est de proposer à des jeunes garçons et des jeunes filles une formation professionnelle hors du commun, en se formant dans différents pays autour de la Méditérannée, grâce aux différents centres signataires de ce projet afin de parfaire leur formation professionnelle, culturelle et humaine.
Les jeunes seront salariés d'une entreprise et recevront une formation gratuite organisée par les centres signataires du projet.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nous souhaitons rejoindre le réseau du FAL car notre projet Compagnonnage du Bassin Méditerranéen correspond à l’objectif de la Fondation Anna Lindh de « contribuer au rapprochement des populations des deux côtés de la Méditerranée en vue d’améliorer le respect mutuel entre les cultures ».
Nous souhaitons travailler avec les autres acteurs de ce réseau dans le domaine de l’éducation et de la jeunesse.

Parts of the project were: "Human chain against chain saws" with 1.500 people, occucupation of trees, active climate protection through spreading of seeds that are not genetic engeneered. "Tree fairies" promoted the respect for nature: they connected with passers-by to raise their awareness for climate change and handed out these seeds to motivate the people to plant their own trees. The special aim of the project was also to involve the Turkish and Arab community of Berlin.
