EN ROOT Association

The association is based in Dinan (a small city surrounded by many rural areas) and we propose activities and projects for all children, youth and adults targeting disadvantaged neighborhoods and disadvantaged public (unemployed youth and adults, youth from “quartiers prioritaires”, population from rural area, immigrants and refugees, population from detached areas). Thus we wanted to come together around common topics: education, mobility, cultural diversity, European citizenship, personal and professional development, active civic participation. The name of the organization is suggestive: En root (pun word, in French- En route)= being mobile, travelling and discovering but in the same time having the genuine cultural heritage, being at anchor with your roots. The image of being on the road and not forgetting about your roots, being “en route” and being “en root”. From this raises the aim of our organization: to widen the cultural horizons of children, youth and adults in the respect of all individual characteristics, respect for the environment and respect for human rights. Therefore we strongly believe in the power of education being formal education, informal or nonformal education. We are promoting educational activities and educational projects in schools, in youth centers, on the street, in gyms, indoor and outdoor, at local or at international level.
