📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

La MAPAR est une structure d’hébergement pour jeunes « Habitat Jeunes » basée à Redon. Nous disposons d’environ 150 logements répartis sur 6 structures. Elle accueille majoritairement des jeunes travailleurs de 16 à 30 ans, mais aussi des apprentis, des jeunes en formation, des étudiants. L'équipe socio-éducative, composée de 4 animateurs, les soutient dans leurs démarches administratives, d'insertion sociale et professionnelle, culturelle. De plus, l’équipe propose, au travers d’un programme d’animation, des activités pour favoriser la vie collective et les échanges entre les jeunes. L’ensemble des actions menées tentent de le faire au travers d’une pédagogie participative, pour intégrer au mieux les résidents dans les activités. La Mapar organise également des actions de prévention sur les « problématiques jeunesse » (conduites à risques, sécurité routière, vie affective et sexuelle, addictions, …). L’ensemble des activités développées s’effectue avec les associations partenaires locales et institutionnels. L’été (de juin à fin août), la MAPAR est aussi Auberge de Jeunesse. Cette activité permet des échanges supplémentaires avec une population différente. La MAPAR est basée à Redon, une ville d’environ 10.000 habitants se situant géographiquement au sud de la Bretagne à égale distance de Rennes, Nantes et Vannes et à environ 60 km de la mer. Redon occupe une place centrale au sein d’un bassin de vie et d’emploi d’environ 80000 habitants. La population est majoritairement rurale et ouvrière. La gare TGV place Redon à 3 heures de Paris en train. Il est à noter que Redon est situé au carrefour de trois voies navigables: l’Oust, la Vilaine et le canal de Nantes à Brest. Le Pays de Redon est marqué par un fort dynamisme culturel particulièrement autour de la culture bretonne. Les nombreuses associations (cinéma associatif avec 7 salles, centre social, piscine, associations culturelles, d’animation …) contribuent à faire de cette petite cité une ville active où il fait bon vivre. La MAPAR accueille des jeunes issus de Bretagne, de toute la France, mais aussi des étrangers, notamment pour les études, mais parfois aussi pour le travail et quelques mineurs non accompagnés.

The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
