Each summer, one of the twin towns takes its turn to host a gathering of young people aged 17-25.
They live together for around 10 days. They enjoy a programme of cultural visits and sporting events (mixed with tourism!) mixed in with work on a specific theme, leading to a presentation at the end of the event. Each year the theme covers a different aspect of international friendship, co-operation or world peace.
The 2006 Camp was held in Rosignano.
The 2009 Camp, renamed the 'International Meeting of Youth', will be held in Champigny over Easter.
