EUROCIRCLE

EUROCIRCLE, based in Marseille, is a French European NGO developing, participating and informing about European projects mainly in the field of youth. We act as partner in European intercultural exchange and training course programmes as well as the ESC in which we are sending, coordinating and hosting organization. We participate in innovative and/or experimental programmes (Social European Fund, Fund for Experimental Youth Projects) to foster socio-professional integration of youth with fewer possibility through enhanced support before, during and after their experience abroad. In addition, we organize transnational projects like the Franco-German ecological voluntary service, cooperation between twin towns together with the Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ) or hosting international interns. On the migratory field, Eurocircle is partner of the OFAJ as sending and coordinating organization for an international volunteer project named ‘Young Ambassador of Solidarity’. This project envisages the sending of French volunteers to support German actors working with migrants and refugees. Among these actors there are: ‘Das Progressiv Zentrum’ Think Tank, street educators for unaccompanied migrant minors, the German Red Cross, Municipalities, schools and kindergartens, urban gardens. We also participated in several projects every year (ESC and Youth Exchanges) on various topics like sport, culture, solidarity, cooperation, etc. One of our top projects in “REVE” (meaning ”dream”) aims to give young people with fewer opportunities the chance to find their professional way and define a life project thanks to their exerience in voluntary projects. Thus, Eurocircle is working actively at promoting voluntary work, its values and its positive impact on the professional integration of youngsters with fewer opportunities.
