France: Keep Going Keep Growing
About the local hosting organizationOur NGO promotes citizenship, intercultural dialogue & international mobility for young adults from 16 to 30, regardless of their qualifications & experience.
PRESENTATION OF PARCOURS LE MONDE
Parcours Le Monde Grand Ouest is a non-profit organization which aims to promote international and European mobility and intercultural dialogue and citizenship via formal and informal education methods. This is especially for young adults with fewer opportunities. Our purpose is to help them to create social connections, develop their independence as well as social and professional integration.
In our association, we sensitize, train and accompany young adults before, during and after their mobilities. So, we are looking for partners who are interested in receiving these young people on different programs like “Youth Exchange” and/or “Short-term European volunteering” etc…
Through our “Osez l’international” project, we aim to facilitate European mobility for young adults, regardless of their qualifications. We consider it to be a “structuring” part of their personal development, as well as their social and professional integration.
OUR PUBLIC
The vast majority of the young people accompanied by our organization comes from local community projects and neighborhood associations. Most of them have Level IV qualification or less and face several difficulties in integration (such as educative, social, economic, geographical issues). Many of the young people accompanied by the project live in underprivileged areas.
OUR MOTIVATION
For the young adults of this scheme, mobility abroad can have a leverage effect. It is also a mobilizing and enhancive tool during the personal development, and for social and professional integration. A departure to abroad country alone, without mentoring and for a long period of time, is not possible for everyone. In fact, some young adults are quite reluctant to launch their own projects of mobility without being accompanied. Therefore, they seek a secure and organized structure for their first-time abroad.
International mobility through volunteering is an ideal instrument for this young public. It offers a safe departure and links with an organization which is able to assist and provide them with tutorship. Being engaged in a project which merges citizenship, active involvement, non-formal education and social activities gives to these young adults, who are often in a dynamic of failure, the opportunity to succeed. Discovering new people and a new culture and experiencing another way of life will provide them with a sense of independency, a new open-minded vision, a better understanding of others… This kind of experience is particularly positive for these young people.
Presentation of the programme
“Keep Going Keep Growing” aims at sending young people abroad on long-term volunteering missions (7 months).
The association "Parcours Le Monde - Grand Ouest" (PLMGO) aims to promote and develop, through formal and non-formal education, European and international mobility, intercultural dialogue and citizenship. PLMGO’s actions particularly target young people (16-25) who are far from mobility, with fewer opportunities, the objectives being their empowerment, as well as their social and professional integration.
“Keep Going Keep Growing” is aimed at young French people from 18 to 25 years old who have already experienced a short-term European mobility and wish to continue the accompaniment process. Long-term volunteering allows young French people to develop their life paths in order to facilitate their social and professional integration. Living a significant experience in Europe allows them to reinforce their technical, social, intercultural and organizational skills... and also to discover or improve certain themes.
We will send 2 volunteers per session, with four sessions planned between October 2022 and July 2024. The volunteering activities must involve either:
- Climate action & Environment
- Youth & Children
- Intercultural dialogue and the fight against discriminations
- New Technologies & Digital skills
- Sport
- Cultural activities
As the target group may be composed of NEETs, they require a strengthened tutoring, both by the sending and the hosting organization. We are looking for partners able and willing to host young people, sharing our values regarding social inclusion.
