Despite the appearance of a very favorable social conditions, the West Island hides a reality where 17,525 young people, 18% of young people from 0 to 34 years, are living in areas of social and material deprivation.

New! A promising project: Immigration - Multiplying Agents

With the immigration program and the Multiplier Agents project, AJOI wants to reduce the cleavages and eliminate the barriers between the host society and immigrant citizens through the intervention of multiplying agents from the communities. These are bridges that are built to forge links through authentic inclusion and the full participation of cultural communities.

The project aims to improve the capacity of the host society and the cultural communities to adapt to the realities of each other and vice versa.
