Centre Régional Information Jeunesse Normandie

lýsing á stofnuninni/samtökunum

The Regional Youth Information Center (CRIJ) of Normandy is an organisation created in 1971 - supported by the Regional Academic Delegation for Youth, Involvement and Sports of Normandy - which freely welcomes young people from 15 to 30 years old, whatever their situation is.
Based in Caen and Rouen, the CRIJ Normandie informs young people and their families, and advises them in all areas that concern them: vocational guidance, studies, employment, international mobility, Europe citizenship, civil rights, aprenticeship, summer jobs, student life and citizenship. As a producer of information, the CRIJ It encourages young people to develop their autonomy by giving them reliable and verified resources through thematic news on its website (www.info-jeunes-normandie.fr), as well as practical guidebooks. All of these productions are digitalised, as the organisation constantly develops information techniques in order to adapt to the digital practices of young people. The organisation also offers various services to the young public such as the advertisement of job and housing offers, internet access and group information workshops.
Thanks to strong alliances with financial local partners, the CRIJ Normandie is also an operator in the management of support systems for young people with fewer opportunities and for french volunteers. At a regional level, the organisation coordinates the Youth Information network of Normandy, made up of nearly 50 local structures. These are the CRIJ's relays to remote and isolated audiences throughout Normandy. They are hosted within local associations or regional authorities.
Each year, the CRIJ Normandie welcomes young volunteers or interns to reinforce its team. Our permanent youth workers are used to collaborating with young people on a daily basis and training them so they acquire skills that are useful for their future professional career. The organisation's activities have been developing for several years thanks to the contributions and ideas of young Europeans we welcome in our team, but also of the local young people we send on a voluntary mission in Europe.
