The Sow&Fly project aims to encourage young people to get involved in civic life, and to make them more aware of fundamental issues such as the fight against discrimination, the protection of our environment, and their impact through opportunities for involvement. As part of Sem&Vol, the association's group of young volunteers has set up 4 cycles of engagement activities, to enable young people from rural areas to discover the impact they can have on their social and natural environment, how community life works, and how to get in touch with local political decision-makers. The group of volunteers, supported by our year-round international volunteers, organised manual and creative activities and discussion workshops with the local population around 4 themes: eco-practices, gender equality and the fight against discrimination, civic participation, community involvement and mobility/interculturality. These participatory workshops have helped to bring together residents who would not otherwise meet, and to encourage their participation in community involvement initiatives. The involvement of the association's socio-educational bodies has enabled the young people who are furthest away from commitment to find their place and contribute actively to the project. The regular links and exchanges with political decision-makers introduced the young people to an understanding of how democracy works, and enabled the decision-makers to see the reality of young people's commitment on the ground. The project has therefore helped to enhance cooperation between civil society players and between institutions and civil society. The group of volunteers was supported by the association's staff in learning the methodologies of project management, group management, organisation, planning and evaluation. Through participatory practices, this project aimed to give young people the means to organise their own civic events that would have a positive impact on their social, cultural and natural environment, to understand and participate in the civic life of their country, and to encounter difference.
