About the project

ESC: Inclusion of elderly migrants

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

As a factor of recognition, tolerance and openness to other cultures, ALIFS' actions are a support for socialisation, participation and involvement in the life of the city. Within the framework of common law measures, they help in supporting integration policies by changing behaviour, attitudes and representations within the society in the country of settlement. They also make it possible to act with migrants and their children to help them build positive, open and plural identities. As a reference association, and an active player in the development of intercultural mediation in Bordeaux and its various priority districts, ALIFS is also active in other districts of cities within the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and more particularly in the Gironde Department. ALIFS structures its interventions around six complementary and closely interacting priority axes, namely: access to rights; access to citizenship and educational practices; cultural actions and artistic practices; the animation of the Republican Integration Contract (CIR); the fight against discrimination; the training of integration actors; and finally, the support of aging migrants.

💼 What the programme involves

The ALIFS association (Association for Family and Social Intercultural Relations) aims to facilitate the integration of immigrant populations, to fight against discrimination and all forms of exclusion, through access to rights, culture and citizenship. The Hôm'age space includes a social café and reception areas. Social support, citizenship workshops, art workshops, memory workshops, cultural and sports outings are organised in this space. Artistic tools (CDs, comics, etc.) and exhibitions are regularly created. The volunteer will take part in : - assisting and participating in the running and organisation of workshops and events - accompanying the beneficiaries on cultural outings - participating in the promotion of workshops and tools through the creation of videos or other material - facilitating artistic and digital workshops for the elderly - proposing activities to facilitate learning to read
