IN REGARDS TO

A CŒUR JOIE INTERNATIONAL constitutes a vast network of choirs present on four continents, which has enshrined its vision, for several decades, in the radiation of the choral world through exchanges. Thanks to the energy and passion of thousands of enthusiasts and partners committed to opening up choral practice to all, our members share, within and beyond the French-speaking world, resources and programs with a view to intercultural dialogue.

Join us today to build, by singing, a world of diversity, of solidarity and peace, for the benefit of current and future generations.

OUR MISSIONS

implement and coordinate the action of our associative structures, movements and federations;
promote the networking of the activities of our associative structures, movements and federations;
contribute to the development of the practice of choral singing everywhere, by all and for all;

OUR VALUES

education through participation in choral work,
learning about community life,
openness to all forms of art,
