Carton plein

Carton Plein (‘full box’) supports and educates people in very at-risk situations through ecologically-innovative vocational training, including collecting and reusing cardboard boxes, moving house and delivering goods by bike. The charity, which is based in East Paris, is now expanding into the Nanterre area.

The Societe Generale The Future is You Foundation supports the Premières Heures professional integration project, which has already been rolled out in the 18th arrondissement of Paris and is based in Nanterre. It provides professional integration for people who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEETs) and who do not meet the conditions for conventional job placement (shorter period, flexible), through innovative and varied activities (studio/boutique, box collection, bike deliveries) with more significant social support (including administrative procedures relating to employment, health and housing).
