The "Familles Rurales" movement is launching a research-action in 12 departments with an experiment on 25 sites.
Named Port@il, this project will run until 2021.
The Port@il project is a learning process that capitalizes on local experiments:
- local experiments: 25 within Familles Rurales, others at the Red Cross (6 projects) and at the MRJC-Mouvement rural de jeunesse chrétienne ("Fabriques du monde rural").
- a support component for project leaders, with training and tools for different targets: project leaders, volunteers, employees, site animators, elected officials and decision-makers.
- a capitalization and study component with thematic work and a social impact study to take a snapshot today and return in three years to see what the third places have produced as effects, as dynamics on their territory.
- a communication component to promote local projects and disseminate the results with a website, a newsletter and a program of regional and national events.
- a steering and coordination component, which brings together the partners every six months in a national steering committee.
Launched in January 2018, co-piloted by the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Commissariat for Territorial Equality (which became the National Agency for Territorial Cohesion on 1er January 2020) the national call for projects selected 21 winners including Familles Rurales.
The "Port@il" project actively collaborates with two other national projects: the "Carnac" project led by Inovane and the Institut des territoires coopératifs on cooperation in the territories and the " Tressons " project led by AVISE and the RTES on the social and solidarity economy in rural areas.
Familles Rurales is a national confederation of family associations. Familles Rurales values, stimulates and supports families in the countryside. Through its actions, it seeks to break their isolation and improve their quality of life.
