ESC: European echo in the French Alps

Our Association for the Accompaniment of International Mobility Actions is based in Echirolles since 2012 and is active throughout the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, depending on the various projects in which it is involved. Echirolles has a dynamic city centre which is surrounded by 3 large priority neighbourhoods. The AAAMI is mainly involved in these areas with a public that is mostly very distant from mobility issues (cf. annex 1-additional information on AAAMI). Our main objective is to promote and build mobility programmes in Europe in order to : - Involve a growing number of young people and professionals in mobility and citizenship programmes ("Erasmus +", "C.E.S", "Civic Service"); - Promote the development of citizenship at local, European and international level; - Fight against discrimination and socio-economic exclusion of young people; - Fight against isolation and inward-looking attitudes; - Develop non-formal learning, skills acquisition, qualification and the development of educational pathways for young people in order to promote their socio-professional integration; - To train and support youth actors in the development of European projects (label, European seminars, youth exchanges, trainings, coordination of the housing of European volunteers/ trainee...); - To encourage, develop and strengthen networking and cooperation between associations by creating common projects and enhancing our professional practices at European level.
