There is strength in unity. At NCI, this conviction is at the heart of our approach. That's why we are thrilled to announce new strategic collaborations today that will allow us to broaden our horizons and amplify the impact of our actions with young people, both in France and in Benin.
Expanding Mobility Opportunities in Europe
To continue offering enriching intercultural experiences, we are proud to partner with the Youth Mobility Network (YMN), a dynamic European network of youth organizations. This partnership opens new and exciting doors:
- More opportunities: Our members will have access to a wider range of "Training Courses" and youth exchanges throughout Europe, on various themes ranging from art to ecology.
- Hosting volunteers: This collaboration will facilitate hosting young international volunteers in France for our local projects, enriching our actions with new perspectives.
Strengthening Sustainable Development Education in Benin
In our Benin hub, our commitment to a sustainable future is strengthened through a new collaboration with Éducation Avenir Bénin (EAB), a local NGO recognized for its expertise in educational tools. Together, we will:
- Co-create educational modules: We will develop innovative animation programs on ecology, recycling, and the circular economy, intended for schools and youth centers.
- Complement our action: These tools will enrich the fieldwork already conducted with our strategic partner, the Benin Waste Recycling Cooperative (CRD BÉNIN), creating a comprehensive approach that combines awareness and action.
A Shared Vision at the Service of Youth
These new partners were not chosen at random. We share fundamental values with YMN and EAB: the empowerment of young people, the promotion of intercultural dialogue, and the belief that collaboration is the key to tackling the complex challenges of our time. By joining forces, we are stronger and more relevant.
"Each new partner is a new door opening for the young people we support. It is by weaving these connections that we build a solid and lasting network of solidarity."– Sergio Gandonou, Co-president of NCI
The Future Looks Promising
These collaborations mark a new stage in NCI's development. They reflect our desire to grow, learn, and connect to offer the best to our community. Stay tuned, because great projects will soon see the light of day!
