(In the heart of Nations)Project of exchange 2016-2017 France/PortugalSummary of the project Since many years, the European Union proposes programs for favoring and promoting the exchanges between young people.The international mobility is too often the privilege of a population socially high or helped by their families. The young people from popular places accumulate numerous problems : resources, projects or perspectives, lack of networks, often associated to psychological and cultural brakes which can exclude them.The importance of the mobility and the international exchanges in a career is not to be any more demonstrated. The role of the Mission Locale is to favor the social and professional integration of the young people, we wishes to associate young people with this project, this adventure rich in discovery and in new experiences.The results for this public, weakened, often with a low level of studies, without real future, seem to us evident.We choose a public of the municipality of Vandoeuvre (54500 - France), the second city of the department, more than half population of which lives in ZUS (sensitive urban area) mainly in a district called "Nations". For Portugal, we choose young people of the municipality of Ponte de Lima, situated in the North of Portugal. The project combines a similar Portuguese partner than Mission Locale, the GIP (Gabinette d' Inserçao Profissional) and the respective committees of twinning.We wish to speak about the citizenship with young people. And we wish to give a cultural and sports dimension to this project for and with young people of two countries of Europe where are Portugal and France.
