Adice

What Adice does

ADICE is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1999 and headquartered at 42 rue Charles Quint, Roubaix, France. It enables individuals aged 18 and over — without diploma requirements — to undertake international mobility experiences via European programmes including the European Solidarity Corps, Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, EU Aid Volunteers, and French Service Civique. The association provides individualised participant support and weekly online information sessions every Wednesday at 11am as its primary onboarding funnel. Over its 25-year history, ADICE has enabled more than 2,500 people to participate in mobility projects.

In parallel, ADICE operates as a cooperation and capacity-building organisation, coordinating or partnering on at least a dozen Erasmus+ cooperation projects (MIND, STEP, eGreen, EDI GO, VIVE, ePassport, Diaspo+, Caring Compass, Mobility+, Digital Wise, MENTOR, Stronger Together) and a pan-European youth network called 3EforYouth, which brings together 16 partner organisations across 15 European countries. Project outputs are pedagogical guides, toolkits, training kits, self-assessment instruments, and video tutorials covering mental health, green digital transformation, equality/diversity/inclusion, volunteering management, mentoring, and mobility follow-up — all released as open-access publications.

The business model is non-commercial. ADICE is funded through European programme grants (Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps, EU Aid Volunteers, Interreg), institutional partnerships, public subsidies, and its registered training organisation activity. It holds special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council since 2013, the Erasmus+ Charter for Mobility in VET, French Youth and Popular Education accreditation, and training organisation registration. No commercial pricing for services is disclosed, and there are no identified parent companies, subsidiaries, acquisitions, or external investors. The current publishing director is Terje Kolamets, and communications is led by Emmanuel Olivier.

Direct peers

• Bureau Information Jeunesse (BIJ): National French network providing youth information on mobility, training, and international opportunities. Comparable to ADICE as an information/onboarding channel for young people seeking international experiences, though broader in scope.
• Concordia: French non-profit association specializing in international volunteering, civic service, and youth mobility. Closely comparable to ADICE in mission, French non-profit structure, and reliance on European Solidarity Corps/Erasmus+ programmes to send young volunteers abroad.
• Youth for Understanding (YFU): International non-profit facilitating youth exchange programmes across multiple countries. Comparable to ADICE in international youth mobility mission, though YFU is a much larger global organization with longer-established exchange infrastructure.
• Solidarités Jeunesses: French non-profit network dedicated to international youth mobility, volunteering, and non-formal education. Directly comparable to ADICE in target audience (young people seeking mobility experiences), French association status, and European Solidarity Corps/Erasmus+ project portfolio.

• Association Article 1: French non-profit focused on equal opportunity through education and professional integration, including mentoring programmes for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Comparable to ADICE in addressing inequality of opportunity and operating mentoring-based youth support models.

Broad incumbents

• Erasmus Student Network (ESN): Large pan-European student organization supporting international student mobility under Erasmus+. Comparable in European mobility focus but operates at much larger scale across higher education, whereas ADICE focuses on VET and youth mobility.
• Volonteurope: European network promoting volunteering and active citizenship across the EU. Comparable to ADICE in volunteering focus and pan-European coordination, but broader in thematic scope (advocacy, policy) rather than direct mobility delivery.
• AFS Intercultural Programs: Large international non-profit operating intercultural learning and youth exchange programmes across 60+ countries. Comparable to ADICE's youth mobility mission but operates at significantly larger global scale with established exchange infrastructure.

Others

• European Youth Forum: European umbrella organization representing youth organizations to EU institutions. Adjacent to ADICE through EU youth policy engagement and ECOSOC-level visibility, though operates in advocacy rather than direct mobility service delivery.
