Founded in 1993 in Berlin, EUROCIRCLE is since 2006 a European NGO that develops and carries out transnational projects, particularly in the area of the international mobility of young people. These projects are
designed to foster the emergence of a European citizenship, intercultural, based on the values of tolerance, equality, peace, ecology and solidarity. EUROCIRCLE, based in Marseille, is a French European NGO developing, participating and informing about European projects mainly in the field of youth. We act (or have acted) as partner in European intercultural exchange and training course programmes as well as the EVS in which we are sending, coordinating and hosting oraganization (former Youth in Action programmes), in former Life Long Learning programmes such as Grundtvig or Leonardo and in many other projects like Life, Prince, Equal, Daphné, Progress etc. We participate in innovative and/or experimental programmes (Social European Fund, Fund for Experimental Youth Projects) to foster socio-professional integration of youth with fewer possibility through enhanced support before, during and after their experience abroad. In addition, we organize transnational projects like the Franco-German ecological voluntary service, cooperation between twin towns together with the Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ) or hosting international interns. On the migratory field, Eurocircle is partner of the OFAJ as sending and coordinating organization for an international volunteer project named ‘Young Ambassador of Solidarity’. This project envisages the sending of French volunteers to support German actors working with migrants and refugees. Among these actors there are: ‘Das Progressiv Zentrum’ Think Tank, street educators for unaccompanied migrant minors, the German Red Cross, Municipalities, schools and kindergartens, urban gardens. We also participated in several projects (EVS and Youth Exchanges) on the topic of Sport. One of our projects, “Pass’Sport” aims to give young people the chance to be involved in voluntary projects promoting sport. Indeed, sport is an excellent tool of inclusion, and it is a vector of values such as solidarity, respect, surpassing oneself. In addition, Euro 2016 took place in several French cities, including Marseille, which is also the European capital of sport in 2017. Consequently, we wanted to give the opportunity to participate in these two events. Thus, EUROCIRCLE is working at promoting voluntary work in the field of sport, at practicing sport, its values and health benefits, at developing ethical, responsible and tolerant sport practices and equal access to sport. 20 employees and about 10 volunteers and interns are part of the team of Eurocircle. The
Short term mobility team is composed of 1 employees and 1 volunteer who help to promote the programme. The team participates regularly in trainings for participants in order to better support them during all their project. All involved Eurocircle instructors and coordinators have longtime experience in the field of youth work and youth mobility and possess the necessary know-how, competences and language skills. The group leaders are formed and instructed by our staff.

Associação de Divulgação Cultural de Mora is a local youth organization which was established in the town of Mora in 1986. The members are mainly volunteers who have been developing activities for young people in the region: mountain biking, canoeing, photography workshops, national and international work camps, national and international exchanges, art shows and many environmental education events. The organsation has extensive experience in organizing such projects. Since the early 1990s we have established a partnership with Sportjugend, having since then organized bilateral exchanges with the reception of German groups and sending groups to participate in exchanges in Germany. Subsequently, we also organized multilateral exchanges with Czech, Italian, English and Spanish partners, receiving groups from these countries and sending groups to participate in exchanges in these countries. All our partners host and send groups of participants, having extensive experience in organizing such events.
ADCM is part of an international network of youth associations promoting international exchanges as mentioned above, participating in annual project preparation and evaluation meetings. Some key people from our Association have already participated in BiTriMulti courses promoted by the European National Agencies and SALTO-Youth. Everyone involved in the organizations international approach and later in the development of the activity began their careers in this area as participants in such exchanges, initially as participants and later as leaders. Only after having had the experience of leading groups, they join the organizing team so that we could guarantee experience in developing these activities. We also add that everyone involved in the organization of this exchange has done other exchanges before, ensuring the organizational capacity and proper management of the activity.
