Trajectoires association

What Trajectoires association does

Trajectoires (legal name: Diagnostic et trajectoires) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2013 and headquartered at 3 rue Meynadier, 75019 Paris. It supports public institutions and non-profit actors in designing and implementing responses for the social integration of migrant populations living in precarious conditions—primarily squats, shanty towns (bidonvilles), and encampments. The association's activities span four core expertises: squats and bidonvilles (resettlement policy support), unaccompanied minors (MNA), trafficking in human beings, and feminine migration. It conducts social diagnoses, action research, customized training, and field coordination; recent commissioned studies have covered the journeys of unaccompanied minors detained at Fleury-Mérogis and sexual exploitation of minors across Europe.

The association employs approximately 16-19 staff including field coordinators per territory, project managers, a sociologist (Sciences Po lecturer), a legal expert (former CIMADE / Hors la Rue director), a public health journalist, an intercultural clinical psychologist, and a finance and communication manager. A distinguishing operational feature is the linguistic and cultural composition of the team, with native or fluent speakers of Romanian, Serbo-Croat, English, Spanish, Albanian, French and additional origins, enabling direct fieldwork with Eastern European Roma communities and other migrant populations.

Commercially, Trajectoires does not sell products or services on a transactional basis. It is funded through institutional grants and contracts with French government bodies (DIHAL, DDETS in multiple departments, prefectures, PJJ/Ministry of Justice, departmental councils, municipalities including Ville de Paris, métropoles such as Nantes and Grenoble), and through foundation grants (Porticus Foundation, Fondation Abbé Pierre, Fondation de France, UNICEF France, Caritas). Geographic operations span at least 18 French departments, from Loire-Atlantique to Alpes-Maritimes to Bas-Rhin and Haute-Garonne. The organization does not maintain a technology platform, app, API, or proprietary software; its intellectual property takes the form of published research reports, methodological guides (e.g., a 2025 DIHAL-co-published brochure on bidonville resettlement), podcasts, and contributions to European-level policy work (UNODC, European Council expert missions conducted by the co-founder).
