Fields of Activity
  1. Youth and education
General Information
Notre organisation se compose entre autres d'un comité de 9 jeunes francophones à travers le monde et regroupe tous les anciens jeunes de parlements francophones de jeunesse soit 300 jeunes environ à travers la francophonie. NOus organisons des formations par des jeunes pour des jeunes, des séminaires sur les thèmes des droits de l'homme, vie citoyenne, diversité culturelle et développement durable sachant que nous proposons régulièrement nos projets aux instances européennes chargées de soutenir les organismes de jeunesse. Nous travaillons surtout avec le Parlement francohone des jeunes et les Parlements nationaux de jeunes. Enfin on essaie de créer une vraie cohésion entre notre organisation et les Parlements nationaux de jeunes et le Parlement francophone des jeunes.
Mission and Objectives

La mission de l’Association est de promouvoir la démocratie, la citoyenneté, les droits de l’homme, la diversité culturelle et le développement durable et d’encrer ces valeurs chez les jeunes. Il s’agit d’un réseau d’échange entre les jeunes de ce monde avec priorité aux jeunes francophones ayant participé au Parlement francophone des jeunes ou étant membres des Parlements nationaux des jeunes ou équivalent. Par les moyens d’éducation formelle et informelle, l’Association vise au meilleur épanouissement des jeunes et à la sensibilisation de leurs entourages sur les thèmes les préoccupant.

Main Projects / Activities

Nous avons 3 axes principaux:
- L’inter culturalité et l’esprit de groupe : Ce domaine a pour but de valoriser « l’esprit de groupe ». Trop souvent la cohésion du groupe, la compréhension à travers différentes cultures et modes de vies ne sont pas pris en compte dans le déroulé d’un projet mais la réussite de celui-ci tient bien à l’entente qu’il peut y avoir entre les participants. Notre but est donc de créer une atmosphère de partage.
- La vie démocratique et citoyenne : Un vaste sujet essentiel pour nos participants. Au programme : simulation, rédaction de résolutions, partage d’expériences personnelles. En d’autres termes, vivre et comprendre la démocratie.
- Le développement durable et écologique : Ce thème est fondamental pour notre génération. Le but est de partager sur le sujet et de sensibiliser chacun. Chaque jeune francophone a la possibilité, face à ce défi, d’être un acteur majeur pour changer la donne et promouvoir un avenir vert.
