The project

EducationInclusion
Today, as the country becomes increasingly divided, it is urgent to enable young people to dialogue and connect with each other, so that they can build a society where everyone can live with others without hiding their identity and convictions. To teach active coexistence through experience, Coexister has developed an educational method that takes the form of an annual course held in local groups and Coexister hearts in cities across France.

Solution

The Coexister course!
1/ moments of simple sharing to meet: games, meals or sports outings.
2/ Moments of dialogue to listen to the other and tell each other in safety, agreeing to disagree.
3/ To go beyond simple dialogue, young people carry out actions in solidarity.
4/ Having experienced living together, the coexistant-es bear witness to their experiences.

Use of the money

Donations give our local groups the means to take action, enabling them to spread vivre-ensemble in France to combat prejudice and discrimination.
Each €10 donation enables a young person to take part in a Coexister event, and experience living together.
Why we love it?

At a time when living together is increasingly under threat, it's vital to take action like Coexister to restore cohesion and (re)learn to coexist in peace.

My commitment to Coexister is rooted in questioning this fear of the other, how it affects us, and how we can overcome it. This questioning helps to break down the preconceived ideas we have about each other.
