ARTICLE 3: PURPOSE OF THE www.youthmobilitymakers.com WEBSITE – USER ACCOUNT

3.1) PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE

As a reminder, the www.youthmobilitymakers.com internet website is the Platform for international mobility and cooperation. It was designed to be a meeting place for young people and community organisations, and civil society as a whole. It’s a window to the rest of the world, a lively place that’s perfect for developing one’s awareness of other cultures. This international mobility platform is facilitated by the CRIJ Hauts-de-France. All of these stakeholders are called “Makers”.

The FCM Youth Mobility Makers desires to meet youth where they’re at, adapt to their customs, their needs and expectations, and their individual realities. Young people on incoming mobility assignments are its lifeblood, and contribute to sharing knowledge, culture and language.

With this platform, the CRIJ HDF desires to facilitate interactions and collaboration via hospitality and support for both youth from abroad and those who are itching to discover the world. This platform will also serve to promote international and European mobilities within the framework of activities for young people.

The platform’s membership base is composed of a number of diverse stakeholders from associations and institutional partners at work in the following fields: youth, mobility, solidarity, environment, culture and sports.

Its goal is to facilitate connections and relationships to give each organisation increased visibility and to enable each “Maker” to find their place, progressing together toward a common goal.

2 main ideas form the basis of the platform:

Promoting dialogue so that young people can share their experiences through actions that combine information and activities on the topics of culture and solidarity.
Connecting members for services: accommodations from citizen hosts, intercultural conversations, language partners, excursions, international picnics, etc.

A user who would like to share a story about their mobility experience can decide whether they accept to be contacted or not.

Access to certain parts of the website, the ability to view or download certain content, may be reserved to registered users. In particular, registration is required to gain access to the directory, messaging, etc.

3.2) USER ACCOUNT

The www.youthmobilitymakers.com website offers four types of accounts, depending on the user’s profile.

The four types of accounts are:

Account creation requires their first name and surname, email address, a password, date of birth, address, city of residence, country of residence, indication of the languages spoken (from the list of options) and nationality,
Organisation: the ‘Organisation’ profile is key to helping young people bring their mobility projects to fruition. Account creation requires their first name and surname, email address, a password, organisation name and legal form, registration number, title or position of the director, address, city, country, and presentation of the organisation’s activities in favour of youth international mobility. It may also include a logo, the director’s email address, as well as the website URL,
Lodging organisation: the ‘Lodging Organisation’ profile allows offers for places to stay to be posted, which may be viewed by young people or their support organisations. Account creation requires their first name and surname, email address, a password, organisation name and legal form, registration number, title or position of the director, the first name and surname of the director, the title or position of the contact person, the first name and surname of the contact person and their email address, address, city, country, and accommodations capacity. It may also include an avatar, the director’s email address, a logo, presentation of the lodging organisation as well as the website URL,

All users may create an account on www.youthmobilitymakers.com that matches their profile. Once the request for registration has been completed, the user will receive a link by email that must be clicked to validate registration.

Users also have the option to connect to the site with their Facebook or Google account.

As a reminder, services are not, in any case, intended for use by persons under the age of 17. Under the assumption that the legal and/or regulatory provisions in force would require that you be above age 17 to access and/or use certain services, the minimum age will then be according to said provisions.
