Description of organisation

There are 7 Youth and Cultural centers (MJC) in Gaillac and Graulhet’s conurbation comittee. MJCAGG is already involved in the European Solidarity Corps programme and is hosting 3 volunteers from October 2020 to July 2021. The MJCs are affiliated to the Departmental Federation of Tarn, the Occitanie-Pyrénées Regional Federation and therefore to the Confederation at the national level.

Gaillac and Graulhet's MJC (MJCAGG) focus their actions on 4 fields:
ACTIVITY CLUBS - wellbeing, art, music, non formal learning, physical activity and leisure, open from young children to seniors
CULTURAL ENTERTAINMENT - eclectic program, promotion of local artists, local, departmental, regional, national and international projects and events
YOUTH ACTION - after school activities, extracurricular programs, camps, support for homework, and artistic practices, 2 youth Information Structures and 1 Eurodesk
CREALAB - FabLab or digital third place, access to computers and digital machine tools, it is open to everyone and has many possibilities

Gaillac and Graulhet’s conurbation comittee, experiences a strong disparity with QPV (Political Quarters of the City) and ZRR (Rural Areas to Revitalize). This diversity creates social, economic and/or geographic inequalities, especially among our youth, who remain the priority target of our organization. These societal challenges are fundamental and the MJCs try to reduce these inequalities, fight against discrimination, community withdrawal and isolation.
