ShareAmi is a project created in May 2020 by the Oldyssey organization, in order to preserve social ties around a simple idea: to allow young people who wish to practice French to progress by putting them in contact with seniors living in France to converse in videoconference.

Indeed, in a context of health crisis, seniors have found themselves particularly isolated while students, refugees and migrants have seen their French lessons or language exchanges cancelled.

ShareAmi thus makes it possible to virtually meet each duo who will then call each other every week. An organization with three objectives, since it makes it possible to create links between generations and cultures, to promote transmission and to learn about digital technology.

A great solidarity initiative!

Prison chaplain for 7 years, Clotilde Gilbert notices the desocialization and dehumanization caused by confinement. A break that has an impact on the release of prisoners who will have to find a social and professional life.

For 5 years, she directed a choir there and never ceased to promote art and culture among prisoners. Seeing the positive impacts of her workshops (openness to others, energy, self-confidence), she created Wake Up Café with the desire to support prisoners from their detention until their reintegration into society once released. Wake Up Café thus offers creative and artistic workshops, as well as a reintegration program to inspire inmates and ex-inmates to move forward, to change the way they look at themselves as well as the way society looks at them!

Consultant in educational innovation at the time, Athina Marmorat works with young members of associations or within schools. She then noticed missing links in the orientation of young girls living in priority neighborhoods. In order to formalize this, she carried out a study highlighting the lack of self-esteem, a certain self-censorship of young girls and the difficulties in identifying their strengths and expressing their dreams.

In 2013, she creates Rêv’Elles in order to inspire, motivate, support these young women in their personal or professional development, and enable them to become actors in the society in which they evolve.

The association offers young women, in school or who have dropped out, innovative and participatory orientation assistance programs. The goal: to allow them to develop their self-confidence, to get to know each other better, to take the measure of their potential and to familiarize themselves with the company and its codes in order to lay the foundations for a professional project that suits them!

A great initiative that we salute!

Born in China, Jean Guo grew up in the United States. As a child, she noticed the barriers that people with an immigrant background faced, especially when they did not speak the language of the host country and deplored the poor possibilities of building a professional network.

In 2015, when she moved to France after obtaining the Fullbright grant, Jean Guo studied the economic and health difficulties of marginalized populations as a researcher at Paris School of Economics. She very quickly wondered how she could immediately help these people. In 2016, she co-founded Konexio with the aim of making digital accessible to all. The structure thus offers training in digital skills – from the most basic to the most advanced – to promote socio-professional integration.
