This meeting, organized in partnership by the CRIJ, the SDJES, and the DRAJES, brought together youth stakeholders to discuss field needs and actions to develop. Discussions focused on preparations for the Regional Youth Day scheduled for 2027, network updates, the renewal of Info Métiers, and familiarization with the Info Connect tool.
The choice of Sud-Hérault for this event underscores the recognition of its long-standing commitment to youth. The Community of Communes has pursued a proactive youth policy for over 20 years, including a certified Information Jeunesse structure, mobile outreach, BAFA support, interventions in middle schools, and actions focused on orientation and integration.
Laurent Obiols emphasized the importance of listening to young people, understanding their realities, and providing them with concrete, accessible, and tailored responses. He stressed that in a difficult social and economic context, youth must be supported, considered, and fully integrated into the territory's dynamics.
Olivier Ronan Rivat, Vice-President of the CRIJ, shared this sentiment, highlighting the need to strengthen ties between stakeholders and make information and support essential levers for young people to find their place and build their future. Sud-Hérault intends to continue and reinforce this proximity policy, convinced that investing in youth is also investing in the future of the territory.
