RESACOOP is the RRMA (regional multi-actor networks) of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France. It advises and supports organizations located in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes that are involved in international cooperation and solidarity actions with countries in Africa, South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. Both a resource center and a "public service" for international cooperation, RESACOOP offers a space for meetings and dialogue, open to all inhabitants of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
CartONG carried out the Cities from here & abroad project at the end of 2021 with the students of Louise de Savoie secondary school in Chambéry, thanks to the support of the "RECITAL" program, led by RESACOOP and Pays de Savoie solidaires. Through 5 participatory mapping workshops co-facilitated by CartONG and by youth workers from the AQCV social centre, about thirty pupils were invited to discover the Sustainable Development Goals and to think about their impacts on urban areas.
« Educ'AuRA: objective 2030 » is a project implemented in partnership with the association “Les Petits Débrouillards”, it aimed at raising awareness among the citizens of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and to encourage them to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. In 2018, we participated to 2 festivals, and organized 4 activities for young audiences, 2 mapathons and 1 conference during the 2018 GeOnG Forum. For the second semester of implementation which took place in 2019, CartONG and Les Petits Débrouillards organized 3 awareness raising sessions, set up a "Resourceful city" ("Cité débrouillarde" in French) for 8 women living in a working-class neighborhood of Clermont Ferrand in order to help them build a shared garden. Both associations also took part in 3 international solidarity festivals in the region, and 2 conference-debates were organized in partnership with the HI Institute on Humanitarian Action.
