| Summary: | Young people are a constant concern in rural areas : to "keep" them, to attract them, to control them, "to do for them", "to do instead of them", "to help do" ... but more rarely to listen to them and even less "to do with", "let them do" or allow them to do anything. The current questions about commitment, local development and their mutations permeate in particular the networks of popular education which are composed of this public. The Christian Rural Youth Movement (MRJC), as a movement of rural youth, observes and accompanies these changes, and develops a reflection on the specificity of the commitment and the relationship to development when living in rural life, and when you are between 13 and 30 years old. First of all, to include rural youth in all policies and not just "youth policies". Secondly, by building a culture of commitment and local action and the implementation of a wide variety of projects. This association creates the conditions for involving young people in the territories, not as proposers but as agents. It will be a question of exploring the springs that lead to commitment and their educational and pedagogical challenges, especially through spaces of sociability and diversity. |
