The town of Onet-le-Château (Aveyron) at the bedside of its young inhabitants. The commune “le mindset”, a place dedicated to 14-25 year olds. Presentation with the specialized educator who supervises the structure, Mohamed El Yaakoubi.
It is a welcoming place for 14-25 year olds, with very diverse missions. Such as professional integration, housing and social assistance. Or the assistance we put in place to help them obtain their driving license. In exchange for citizen actions in the municipality. On events such as the Festival of the Four Seasons, festivals or concerts at La Baleine. The young people help us with the organization and reception and in exchange the driving license is financed to the tune of 1,000 euros.
Mindset is the state of mind in English. “It’s open-mindedness, getting by, thinking“, adds Mohamed El Yaakoubi. “Having tips, in the world we live in, is essential. We give resources to these young people so that they can get by. We are guides, but above all, we do not do it in their place“, adds the educator.
Several young people explained that they needed a driving license to get a job. But their families sometimes have difficulty financing it. Hence the aid put in place. 31 people have already registered to benefit from it.
