This event, “La belle Cèze”, will bring together around ten associations and structures from the Rhone Gard. In the midst of professional retraining, Nicolas Doro, Cynthia Chapus and Steeve Fernandez, aged 30 to 40, completed a 14-week internship in Bagnols at the reception and support center for risk reduction for users drugs (Caarud). The structure has around 190 beneficiaries, the vast majority of whom are men (see box). "We wanted to carry out a co-construction project with Caarud users. They proposed several ideas including waste collection. They were keen to participate in an ecological work", explains Nicolas.
Beyond the environmental aspect, the aim of this day is above all to "break down prejudices".< /em> "We really want to put the beneficiaries in the spotlight and ensure that they are no longer stigmatized because of their addiction. Despite their problems, they are normal people. We would like to gradually re-include them and improve the image they have among the population."
"Revitalizing the partnership network"
Several associations and local structures (Unapei 30, Les Hamelines, Mosaïque en Cèze, Pluriels, Riposte…) are participating in the event. "Before embarking on the project, we carried out an assessment of the territory, says Nicolas. We realized that each association sometimes works in isolation and that can accentuate the stigma. We want to revitalize the partnership network."

In the afternoon, the Knet Partage association will create, using the cans collected, a work of art linked to the Olympic Games.
