Since 2014, the Orange Foundation has undertaken to promote the concept of FabLab Solidaire for young people in integration " as a lever for their professional project".
It already supports: 73 FabLabs Solidaires in France and in 11 countries: Spain, Poland, Tunisia, Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Belgium and Slovakia.
Drawing on the lessons learned from the 23 projects selected last year, the Foundation notes that the success of these programs depends on two main prerequisites:
- strong partnership with a relay structure such as a local mission, a second chance school, a youth integration association, an association for young refugees, a cultural association...
- several levels of courses allowing young people to discover the FabLab and then to develop their skills over the longer term, often around a project.
The call for projects is open until May 11, 2018.
