The “Becoming Citizens” call for projects funds up to €1,000 for the project of a group of middle school students aged 11 to 15, two of whom, elected youth departmental advisors, are responsible for presenting their project to the Department.
After a first test edition (2022-2023) dedicated to bringing out collective initiatives aimed at restoring links
social at the heart of the concerns of youth, the second edition (2023-2024) of “Devenir Citoyens” made the
