Solidarités Jeunesses Grand Est

Solidarités Jeunesses is a non-formal education movement which values voluntary commitment, strong political will and solidarity as its core principles. Our activities are organised for everyone, regardless of gender, social and cultural background or nationality. Since its creation, SJ participates in the construction of peace by promoting intercultural and international social connections in France and abroad. SJ works through participative pedagogy which supports initiatives and personal commitment. SJ is composed of a national secretary based in Paris and 8 regional delegations. Our delegations host volunteers from France and abroad for short or long periods of time. The main activities are renovation, environmental work, cultural and pedagogical activities as well as contributions to the collective life. In the Grand-Est region, a new local antenna is developed since last October 2021. In line with the national movement, we aim in Alsace, by actively contributing to the dynamics of the territories where we will act, the following objectives for 2022: - to better understand, by working together, the desires and needs of the territory's inhabitants (especially young people), particularly in the field of cross-border and European cooperation; - to contribute to the enhancement of rural areas in all their dimensions (cultural, economic, social, ...), particularly by linking them to the specific relationship with nature (landscape, calm, air quality, specific projects...).
