Parcours Le Monde - Sud Ouest

What Parcours Le Monde - Sud Ouest does

Parcours Le Monde - Sud Ouest is a non-profit association under French Law 1901, founded in December 2015 and headquartered in Toulouse, France. It facilitates international mobility for young people aged 16-30 in the Occitanie region, with a particular focus on NEETs (youth Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and those with fewer opportunities due to low qualifications, economic hardship, or social exclusion. The organisation delivers a 4-step accompagnement methodology: collective information meetings, individualised preparation, follow-up during mobility, and post-return support. Programmes it coordinates include European Solidarity Corps (CES) volunteering, Service Civique missions, professional internships of 3-5 weeks in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany, youth exchanges, and Erasmus+ KA2 cooperation projects.

The organisation operates as a human-led service platform with no proprietary technology product. Its core differentiator is free, personalised, time-unlimited accompagnement that builds bespoke mobility projects rather than offering a catalog of ready-made solutions. It coordinates a network of permanent staff (7), CES and Service Civique volunteers (6), and partners with local referral actors, primarily Missions Locales, to source beneficiaries. It holds five official certifications: Service Civique agrément (2016), JEP (2019), Erasmus+ VET accreditation (2021), CES Quality Label LEAD (2022), and Qualiopi (2022).

The business model is 100% institutional grant-funded; no commercial revenue streams are disclosed. Primary funding sources are the European Social Fund (FSE+) via DREETS Occitanie, the Erasmus+ programme, and French government Service Civique agreements. The disclosed 2025-2026 Mobi+ project represents a €83,992.65 budget with €40,192.65 from FSE+. Services are free for beneficiaries, with mobility costs covered by the relevant programme device. The association is part of the national Parcours Le Monde network, with sister associations PLM Île-de-France and PLM Sud Est, and is a member of the Erasmus+ Inclusion Committee.

Direct peers

• France Volontaires: State-backed platform coordinating international volunteering for French youth, including Service Civique and CES deployments. Closely aligned institutional partner/peer managing a comparable mobility volume for similar beneficiary profiles.
• Concorda (ex-Concordia): French non-profit running international volunteering and workcamp programmes for young people, including NEETs and youth with fewer opportunities. Direct peer in the CES/Service Civique volunteering ecosystem with comparable beneficiary cohorts and grant-based funding.
• Eurodesk France: French hub of the European Eurodesk youth information network, providing mobility information and guidance to young people including those with fewer opportunities. Directly comparable information/accompaniment role for Erasmus+ and CES mobility.
• Parcours Le Monde Île-de-France: Sister association within the national Parcours Le Monde network, operating the same Loi 1901 mobility-accompaniment model for NEETs and youth with fewer opportunities in the Île-de-France region. Directly comparable mission, target audience, and funding mechanisms (Erasmus+, CES, FSE+).
• Parcours Le Monde Sud Est: Third sister branch of the Parcours Le Monde network covering the South-East region of France under the same Loi 1901 non-profit model. Same target beneficiaries, same mobility programmes, same institutional funding stack.
• Solidarités Jeunesses: National federation supporting youth international volunteering, workcamps, and mobility projects for disadvantaged youth. Operates the same CES/ESC hosting label structure and targets overlapping populations with bespoke accompaniment.

Broad incumbents

• Unis-Cité: Large national Service Civique association deploying civic service volunteers across France, including international missions. Larger incumbent serving overlapping NEET/inclusion populations but with broader civic-service focus rather than mobility specialisation.
• Les Francas: National federation of associations for popular education and youth, recognised with JEP agrément like Parcours Le Monde Sud Ouest. Larger incumbent with broader educational mandate but overlapping target youth and similar institutional funding logic.

Others

• Missions Locales de France: National network of local youth employment agencies serving NEETs aged 16-25 across France. Functions as both a referral partner for Parcours Le Monde Sud Ouest's internship programme and an adjacent operator in the same youth-insertion value chain.

Regional players

• Bureau Information Jeunesse (BIJ): National network of youth information centres providing guidance on mobility, training, and employment to young people. Comparable target audience (16-30 youth) and information/accompaniment function, but operates nationally as a public-information infrastructure rather than as an inclusion-specialist.
