The Partner-Finding Tool
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.
“My First Mobility” aims at sending young people with fewer opportunities (NEETs) abroad on short-term volunteering missions (3 weeks maximum).
“Mobil’access 4all” aims at sending young people with disabilities abroad on short-term volunteering missions (59 days maximum).
“Keep Going Keep Growing” aims at sending young people abroad on long-term volunteering missions (7 months).
“VEIA” aims at hosting international volunteers for long-term mobilities (9 months).
