As part of the Overseas Assizes and the release of the Overseas Blue Book, the community of Saint-Martin was able to present around ten project leaders, including the association Jeunesse Soualiga which was auditioned at the Elysée, June 27, 2018, by Minister Jacqueline Gourault to the Minister of the Interior Gérard Collomb and the Minister of Labor Muriel Pénicaud.
The Jeunesse Soualiga association's project involves a prevention campaign against road insecurity and drinking and driving, intended to raise awareness among young people in the area.
Its President, Jean-Marc Gervais, had 15 minutes to present his project to the jury and the two ministers. Its objective is to launch its campaign in partnership with local stakeholders by early 2019, the time for the association to complete its funding.
During her last trip to Saint-Martin on March 05, 2018, the Minister of Overseas Territories had invited the community of Saint-Martin to present a maximum of projects. If Saint-Martin was able to bring together a dozen projects, most of which attracted the animation of the city and raised awareness among young people, in total, more than 1000 projects from overseas were deposited in the part of the local Blue Book workshops. The Blue Book is intended to be an instrument at the service of the development, transformation and influence of the overseas territories.
Very present on the territory since its creation in 2004, the association Jeunesse Soualiga represented Saint Martin with dignity with its project "A night of hell", which consists of a campaign to fight against addictive behavior and the consequences on safety road. Jeunesse Soualiga will make a prevention film in which the young members of the association will be the actors with a message in common thread: "we are the actors of our lives and can change things". Project to follow…
Present in Paris on the same date, President Daniel Gibbs congratulated Jean-Marc Gervais and the members of Jeunesse Soualiga, for their constant involvement with the youth of Saint-Martin.
