Cooperative d’ Initiatives Jeunes (CIJ)

is a public-interest cooperative established i Corsica and several French territories (PACA, Guyana…). The cooperativ implements an educational project on cooperation by concentrating its action mainly in disadvantaged suburbs, and in particular in neighborhoods defined as ‘’sensitive urban areas’’ which are often presented as territories that accumulate difficulties. Its programme allows young people – aged 16 to 25 (disadvantaged youth, NEETs, apprentices) – to learn about their own cooperative, offering services to the neighborhood population. CIJ’s youth services introduce people to the democratic functioning of an enterprise, to the collective organisation of work, to cooperative management and the functioning of the market. The young people are supervised by facilitators, supported by a local committee that brings together employment professionals, vocational training centres, cooperatives and actors from the social economy sector. CIJ develops new approaches to enable disadvantaged young people to take control of their destiny through the development of a strong spirit of initiative and enterprise (SIE) and to become part of society. Finally, the CIJ enables disadvantaged young people to take control of their destiny through the development of a strong spirit of initiative. For years, CIJ has been involved in many European programmes in order to strengthen its practices and also to bring new innovative tools to youth. With a strong focus on the environment, the CIJ is increasingly involved in projects that highlight youth innovation and action in the fight against global warming.
