Solution

Le Carillon involves various local players:

The shopkeepers offer micro-services and everyday products (phone recharging, luggage drop-off, meals, drinks, haircuts, etc.).s offer micro-services and everyday products (recharging your phone, leaving your luggage, meals, drinks, haircuts, ...) and offer a warm welcome to homeless people
Homeless people use the services and products at the shopkeepers' and can get involved as volunteers in the network to animate and develop it (recruiting new shopkeepers, monitoring shopkeepers, organizing events, ...)
Residents.e.s create links by offering/pre-paying for products on standby at merchants for homeless people, and can get involved as volunteers in the network to animate and develop it
Partner associations pass on to homeless people the list of supportive merchants.s solidaires
Companies support the network and mobilize their employees

In order to inform residents.s (with and without domicile):

the shopkeeper commits himself by displaying a "Le Carillon" label on his door and pictograms corresponding to the services and products on offer;
we print lists of the location and offer proposed by each shopkeeper which are distributed by 1) volunteers, with and without domicile, on the street, 2) by our associative and social partners and 3) by us during our weekly social link permanences (entitled "Repères").

In order to bring the network to life and develop links between all these players, we regularly get together around neighborhood events (Apérue at a shopkeeper's, karaoke, choir, game of pétanque, unpopular soup...) organized by our volunteers with and without homes.

Film-debate

Tuesday, January 23 was our last movie-debate evening! 🎥

Around thirty residents with and without homes in the neighborhood were able to discover the documentary Au clair de la rue by Julien Goudichaud. An event made all the more touching by the fact that it was our last ciné-débat.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was able to take part in this great project! Since May 2022, the Maison de la Conversation, in the 18th arrondissement, has opened its doors to us to present 9 films and short films. These free evenings, open to all, not only contributed to making culture accessible to all, but were also a good pretext for meeting people and creating social links.

In fact, for almost a year and a half,210 spectators were able to meet and exchange with 26 speakers who came to present their work. Many thanks to all of you 🫶
