Association pour l'Accompagnement des Actions de Mobilité Internationale

description of organisation

Our Association for the Accompaniment of International Mobility Actions is based in Echirolles since 2012 and is active throughout the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, depending on the various projects in which it is involved. Echirolles has a dynamic city centre which is surrounded by 3 large priority neighbourhoods. The AAAMI is mainly involved in these areas with a public that is mostly very distant from mobility issues (cf. annex 1-additional information on AAAMI).

Our main objective is to promote and build mobility programmes in Europe in order to :
- Involve a growing number of young people and professionals in mobility and citizenship programmes ("Erasmus +", "C.E.S", "Civic Service");
- Promote the development of citizenship at local, European and international level;
- Fight against discrimination and socio-economic exclusion of young people;
- Fight against isolation and inward-looking attitudes;
- Develop non-formal learning, skills acquisition, qualification and the development of educational pathways for young people in order to promote their socio-professional integration;
- To train and support youth actors in the development of European projects (label, European seminars, youth exchanges, trainings, coordination of the housing of European volunteers/ trainee...);
- To encourage, develop and strengthen networking and cooperation between associations by creating common projects and enhancing our professional practices at European level.
