Date du début: 20 juin 2015, Date de fin: 19 nov. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

This project was born from the encounter of professionals from both partner organizations : the Center Antonio Candido (childcare service runned by the social security of Porto City) and the Maison Sacré Coeur (also a childcare service from the Fondation d’Auteuil of Thiais, in the region of Paris). Through this encounter, the idea of a project of international opening and exchange for French and Portuguese young people aiming at answering their common issues and needs emerged. This new-born partnership, coming from the field in both countries, also directly connects with the project of Apprentis d’Auteuil, which includes the empowerment of young people and professionals in the coming years. The foundation wishes to give the opportunity to every young people and employee to experience an international mobility and to open itself to foreign cultures. Apprentis d’Auteuil also encourages its institutions to build strong partner relationships with other structures abroad. This project entitled “connect to the future”, will directly involve 24 young boys and girls from both French and Portuguese structures. This young people are taken care of due to their need of educative assistance and encounter great difficulties in their education and familial and social background. In most cases, this situation leads to : limited ability to project themselves in the future, maladaptive behaviors, difficulties to step back from their lives and to verbalize their feelings. 8 adults, youth workers, teachers, psychologist and social worker, will accompany young people throughout this exchange project, that will run from October 2014 to October 2015. International trips will take place in two sessions: a first session with the reception of the French group in Portugal (early July 2015) end a return session with the arrival of the Portuguese group welcomed by the French (end of July 2015). The objectives for this project are: to support each young people in their capabilities to project themselves into the future, allow them to live a geographic mobility and discover another culture and different language, allow them to live a common life with other young of a different nationality and build relationships that are meant to reciprocal. Each activity is designed in the aim to give opportunity to the young to be in position of actor: participation is a sign of self-empowerment and ownership of the project by young people.
