Challenges: • One of the features of volunteers in Cambre is their capacity for self-organisation through assemblies in a horizontal fashion. The level of participation in the organisation and decision-making is complete. The creation of an external organisation of voluntary action is a challenge we are considering. • A short-term challenge is to deepen and open up volunteers to the use of IT and 2.0 webs. • To manage higher commitment and permanence levels in the organisation.
