The aim of the ‘Cap sur l'Europe: la Martinique en mouvement’ (Heading for Europe: Martinique on the move) project is to enable young people from overseas territories, particularly Martinique, who face various geographical, economic and cultural inequalities, to enjoy the same opportunities as their peers from mainland Europe. Due to their geographical remoteness, few Martinicans feel concerned by European issues. In 2024, only 12.32% of voters turned out to vote in the European elections. Young people, like their elders, generally know little about Europe, its cultural diversity and opportunities, or have little interest in it. Furthermore, in 2023, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) estimated that 26% of young Martinicans under the age of 29 were neither in employment, education nor training (NEET), which is twice as many as in mainland France. This difficulty makes these young people less independent, prompting more than half of them to remain in the family home, despite their desire for greater independence. As early as the 2010s, the Martinique Training Environment Management Association (AGEFMA) linked the high school dropout rate on the island to students' lack of self-confidence. Other studies, conducted by INSEE 10 years later, established a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in overseas territories and a higher rate of depression among inactive people. It is therefore necessary to offer young people in overseas territories opportunities to develop, discover what is happening elsewhere, and regain their self-confidence despite difficult academic, professional or personal backgrounds. This project, as a whole, will promote young people's access to a variety of educational and cultural opportunities, stimulate their curiosity, broaden their personal and professional perspectives, and contribute to opening up their field of possibilities. Indeed, this initial experience, often necessary due to the limited opportunities offered by the island in terms of jobs and training, proves to be an obstacle for many young people and their families. This is primarily for economic reasons, as even with the support available, it remains very difficult for families in precarious situations to support young people in their study or training projects. But also because it represents a leap into the unknown, which is not always easy to take. The idea of leaving alone, thousands of kilometres away from family, in an unfamiliar environment, is a significant source of anxiety. By supporting these young people, we want them to consider the possibility of leaving Martinique to train, study or work as a realistic and achievable option, to think bigger and strive for excellence for themselves and their peers. We also want to work on representation, diversity, and inclusion. By discovering different countries and cultures, they will be able to discover the diversity of lifestyles and ways of thinking in the world in which they are growing up. Living on an island can lead to a form of insularity that can result in intolerance towards those who are different from us. Due to the difficulties outlined above, we believe that the DiscoverEU Inclusion scheme offers a gentle introduction to the mobility schemes and opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme as a whole. The objectives of this project are therefore to: - Promote Europe and its cultural diversity among young people from overseas territories - Enable young people with fewer opportunities to gain independence in a safe environment - Promote the development of young people's interpersonal skills through active participation in the different stages of the project - Make Europe and its values less abstract for young people from overseas territories - Offer young people the opportunity to broaden their horizons by discovering new perspectives
