The Village of Sharing

As it does every year, the City of Strasbourg supports local organizations by hosting them at the foot of the Grand Sapin. This tradition provides an opportunity to come together, listen to others, and learn about these organizations, all to foster a spirit of solidarity during the holiday season.

  • Christmas for everyone

For this new edition, nearly 110 of them—spread across 14 chalets—will be there to meet with you and discuss the values they champion every day: helping the most vulnerable, promoting social inclusion, supporting people affected by illness or living with disabilities, humanitarian aid, international sponsorship, the defense of human rights, and animal welfare.

  • 32 solidarity and charitable organizations that promote access to basic necessities and the social integration of people
  • 36 humanitarian aid and international sponsorship organizations
  • 18 organizations supporting vulnerable individuals and their families affected by illness, disability, etc.
  • 5 organizations dedicated to human rights defense and advocacy for vulnerable populations
  • 4 service clubs
  • 6 organizations dedicated to community education and civic engagement
  • 9 organizations dedicated to animal welfare and the human-animal bond

The Village du Partage also features must-attend events such as Volunteer Day, the Solidarity Mannele, Celebrating Christmas Together, and the Starry Soup.
