France begins new voluntary national service programme

France begins new voluntary national service programme

The government's initial aim is to grow the programme to 10,000 volunteers a year, with a long-term goal of up to 50,000 per year in 2035.

This week, 3,000 young people are starting France's new national service programme, a voluntary military scheme that replaces the country's now-scrapped Universal National Service.
