Resumo: Social Center is an association created in 1962 with the aim to help people living in a rural area. Today the social center performs its actions on the territory of 23 municipalities with 12 814 inhabitants. In this context mobility of people is essential for having access to cultural, sportive and leisure activities. However, teenagers, elderly people living alone, or families having financial difficulties may face problems to reach these services.

So within this geographical area the role of the hosting organization is to reduce the social gap, isolation and social insecurities by helping to organise local events and services for moderate prices. The social . center targets all inhabitants of the area, including the most disadvantaged ones, with a purpose to enhance personal and collective development and to maintain social links, and solidarity in the countryside.

It offers various actions for people of different age groups, as well as inter- generational activities. The team works with children and youngsters (animations, summer camps...), families (parenting training courses), adults (administrative support, workshops for unemployed people...), and with elderly people (conferences, computer skills workshops, bringing food at home...).
The center’s office is located in the municipality (1 182 inhabitants), where the majority of its actions take place, but a lot of other events are organized on the territory of municipalities.
