The central issue for them remains the non-delivery of papers. That prevents them from continuing their training or work once they reach the age of 18. Even with the formal guarantee of a work contract.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After having identified tens and tens of Unaccompanied Minors (MNA), enrolled in vocational trainings, in fields in deficit of labor in France, who see their apprenticeship contract terminated on their 18th birthday, the R\u00e9seau Education Sans Fronti\u00e8re ( RESF 54) mobilizes them. \nThus is born the collective ACTION LES JEUNES 54! \nIn a few weeks, more than 120 youth residing in Meurthe-et-Moselle, joined in. On June 15, they will meet the prefect. The goal? \"To humanize the perception of the Prefecture about their cause,\" says RESF 54, which has worked hard to obtain this meeting. Perhaps a national model to show the best of MNA and to raise their voice peacefully?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this collective and how to be part of it? How can you help others and help yourself? Answers as well as an analysis on the general condition of these minors and young people, in an exclusive interview for Pro IDE, given by the associations RESF, A Toit pour les Migrants, Ligue pour les Droits de l'Homme, in Meurthe-et -Moselle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro IDE - Why this collective? What can it change for the better?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, volunteers and activists of various forms, members of different and multiple associations and collectives, make every effort to support undocumented migrants, young and old, isolated people and families. We support their needs in administrative aid, education, accommodation, food, etc. But we undertake, also, strong activism and political struggle. The ultimate objective: To ensure that everyone, citizen of this world, can have their identity unequivocally restored. We consider that there is a deep motivation for everyone to be in France\u2026 and to stay there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of this youth collective is to add a dimension to our struggles, that of the power to act of those first concerned. Through support, the idea is that YOUNG PEOPLE ACT FOR THEMSELVES, that they mobilize for their own cause. Not only individually, but also collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see at least two virtues for them:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. feeling less alone, less isolated, less abandoned, by meeting peers, by sharing their joys and sorrows, their passions, their distress, their desires, their doubts ...<\/li>
  2. feeling stronger, more confident in their own future, here in France in particular; but also gain self-confidence and believe they can lead themselves through the struggles (with support if necessary).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cYou see, people are afraid of the immigrants, and the state is afraid that this fear will turn against it. So, it shows the greatest firmness toward the foreigners, hoping to reassure the voters\u201d.<\/strong><\/div>
