JAMO EVS Sending

Targeted youth are aged between 18 and 30, unemployed of short or long term, with few or no qualifications. They have some difficulties to project themselves. All the youth live in the north of France and wish to participate to a European project. The majority of young stems of partitioned environments, neighbourhoods classified as sensitive, often affected in terms of employment, facilities ... On the outside, these settlements are seen in a very pejorative that can lead to some form of discrimination. They often have little access to culture, either for financial reasons or because they are not aware. Indeed, they are poorly informed or interested in events closer to home. They are not always aware of appropriate tariffs they should receive (free student rate, culture checks, tickets, entertainment ...). They need opportunities to get open-minded and to be engaged in a citizenship approach and get involved in an intercultural project. According to the definition adopted by the European Commission, these youth are defined as "the Young Having fewer opportunities" or "JAMO". But this expression is to be handled with caution as too restrictive. Indeed, she joined the difficulties of professional, economic, cultural, geographical, social, or on their physical and / or mental. The majority of the youth are still living with their parents. Before their EVS, they will all benefit of a linguistic, cultural and pedagogical training (each day of a week during 3 or 4 months). But they will need, during the EVS, to be mentored and put in trust. In fact, they can be proactive and gain autonomy if the framework of the host is reassuring. Future volunteers will have different profiles. They will be men and women, but they will all need to gain autonomy and maturity. For them to be engageg in an EVS project will allow them to open their minds, to discover another culture, another country, to discover themselves. All have skills and qualities that can be used in a project but few are aware of it.
