MER - Moblilité Echange Réciprocité
Start date: Sep 30, 2014, End date: Mar 29, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Une Terre Culturelle organized the cooperation meeting "M.E.R. - Mobility - Exchange, Reciprocity" with its partners in order to advance on the tools of cooperation and networking, it took place in Marseille from the 17th to the 24th of January, 2015. This project is supported by the Erasmus + program, the PACA Region and the french german youth office. This meeting brought together structures working for youth, based in different countries of the Mediterranean basin and Europe, this year we were joined by Macedonian, Palestinian, Dutch and Portuguese partners for the first time. Work on a charter describing the shared values ​​of the network, their principles and objectives was at the heart of this cooperation meeting, in order to strengthen the actions the partners wish to implement in this context. Several activities punctuated each day. Language animations allowed the participants to understand and get to know each other better in a fun and relaxed way. Fourteen nationalities were represented, allowing to share concepts and intercultural methods (Barnga / Casino and Abigail) or more informally, ideas and culinary specialities during the intercultural evening. In order to establish the charter, many discussions were necessary within the group to agree on values, principles and objectives and of course the implementation of such a cooperation tool aspiring to a certain continuity and evolution of our actions. Therefore, the participants have agreed on the distribution and grouping of associations according to their geographical location. Thus were established four working groups: the Northern Europe, Southern Europe, North Africa and the Orient, to facilitate the communication among the partners. The dissemination of information within the network is essential and will be facilitated by volunteers working in each of these areas, this work will first be done on an internally level. Once the visual identity of the M.E.R. Platform found, and when the establishment of a consistent flow of information among members will be assured, the goal is to open access to the content of the plateforme to a larger public. More practically, a project market was organized between the participating structures and people involved in youth work and mobility projects in Marseille. Other local partner organizations of Une Terre Culturelle were also present (social center Rouguière, Social Center Del Rio la Viste, Momkin, Mission local of Marseille, Itineraire International, Eurocircle, and others). Project drafts were presented in order to more easily find people working with an organization with the same concerns and desires. The interest was of course to find partners to actually setting up an intercultural youth exchange or trainings of multipliers around a common theme in the different participating countries.
