📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Communauté de Communes du Périgord Ribéracois ( CCPR) is a public administration which is located in the Dordogne, in the green Périgord. It is located between Périgueux and Angoulême. The Dordogne is one of the departments with the oldest population and one of the poorest. This community includes 44 villages with populations ranging from 65 to 4000 inhabitants per village, very rural villages and a living pool of 20,000 inhabitants. The nearest towns are Périgueux and Angoulême, 40 minutes and 45 minutes by car respectively. There are few industries, many craftsmen and small businesses, farmers and the service sector. Access to health care is complicated due to medical desertification. The nearest hospital is in Périgueux. The population is rather aging and the classes or even schools close regularly. CCPR manages directly 23 nursery and primary schools for many in RPI which accommodate 1280 students, 15 out-of-school receptions and 4 leisure centers. There is a school group in Ribérac in which there is a college/High school/professsional High school and another college in Tocane. There are two Family and Rural Houses for young people aged 14 to 18 in alternance training. There is no information structure for young people in the territory, so they have less opportunity to take advantage of measures such as the ESC.There is no public transport, except for school transport, which makes mobility difficult, without a car, for the population and especially for the elderly and young people. There is little or no cultural and intercultural mix. There is a fairly dense associative fabric throughout the territory which is often the link between isolated village people. These associations offer sports and cultural activities and places for people to meet. There is an English community on the territory.The community has different skills: - Road/Technical Services - Urban Planning - Economic Development - Development of the territory - Population Outreach Centre - General Administration / Accounting - An intercommunal tourism office - One CIAS and two independent residences for old people The community has an elected president and 58 elected community councillors. The community has an organizational chart that includes a Director General of Services and 5 divisions: Technical Division/General Administration Division/Population Services Division/Development Division/Social Division Each division has a manager and in each division there are several departments. The reception of volunteers is done in the pole to the population. The role of this pole is to propose projects and animations to all age groups of the CCPR to create links between people, propose more and more services and opportunities to the population of this rural area, especially children and youth. Our projects are necessary to give them the same chances and rights like in urban area. It is a pole that includes 5 services with each one responsible: - Early Childhood Services - Sports Services - After-school and family services - School and Senior Services - Mobility/intercultural/Youth/Culture Service All the services of the pole to the population work in transversality on a daily basis. Audiences and themes are mixed throughout the projects. The objective is to give the public the most opportunity to meet, exchange and open themselves on the territory and the world. The target group of the ESC project are : - children between 3 and 11 years old from rural area -youth between 16 and 30 years old from rural area - adults of rural area

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
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).
