OUR MISSION
I was searching for a way to go abroad for two years. Parcours le Monde IDF was the missing piece that finally allowed me to do it!
OUR ACTIONS
Awareness-raisingWe facilitate awareness-raising workshops and information sessions for fewer opportunities youths and youth professionals. Our aim is to show that international mobility is open to all young people, regardless of their backgrounds.
|
Tailored mentorship
In order to remove barriers to living an experience abroad, we individually mentor young adults in finding a project, ensuring it goes well from beginning to end, and integrating it into their social and professional journey.
|
International projectsAs international programs are not always readily accessible to young people with fewer opportunities, we create opportunities abroad (internships, volunteering, youth exchanges, etc.) specifically adapted to their needs.
|
OUR RESULTS
We work with young adults the furthest placed from international mobility opportunities: 66% have little or no qualifications, 40% live in a priority district in Ile-de-France, 60% are NEET (not in education, employment or training). They are on average 22 years old.
|
Financial constraints, language barriers, lack of confidence – there are many reasons for a young adult facing exclusion not to travel abroad. Thanks to the remarkable courage and determination from our team and the young people themselves, over 100 succeed each year!
|
Our action is decisive in fewer opportunities youths going abroad. This field observation is corroborated by a 2017 INJEP study that highlights the necessity of support to overcome the obstacles linked to psychological and institutional mechanisms of poverty cycles.
|
OUR IMPACT
Capacity to adapt (98%), autonomy (88%), English (93%), teamwork (93%), public speaking (91%), initiative (91%), open-mindedness (98%), communication (95%) – these are but a few of the valuable and sought-after skills gained during an international mobility experience!
|
By helping them (re)gain their self-confidence, international mobility motivates fewer opportunity youths to break a pre-determined life path and pursue their desired jobs. Not only are they able to better identify new opportunities, they are more likely to go after them.
|
After their mobility, our beneficiaries quickly find employment (40%), training/studies (40%) or a voluntary program (20%) – proving that international mobility is an efficient tool for professional inclusion. Unsurprisingly, 91% claim it had a positive impact on their professional path.
|
My youth exchange experience allowed me to broaden my career prospects. Disheartened after months of struggling to find a job, the Parcours le Monde IDF team encouraged me to apply for a permanent position. And I got the job!
