A roof against presence: intergenerational living in the Drôme Ardèche region with Solidarité Habitats
Intergenerational living is organized by the Solidarité Habitats association in the Drôme Ardèche region for almost 20 years. This system connects hosts of all ages with people who have a professional project. The goal is to create a supportive community where generations share their skills, experience, and living space.
This initiative aims to solve two problems: the shortage of housing for young professionals and the isolation of the elderly. Hosts provide housing to someone in exchange for their help in daily life or their professional skills.
The Solidarité Habitats association provides technical and financial support to the parties involved to facilitate this intergenerational living. It also provides mediation between the parties to resolve any potential conflicts.
This system has already created more than 100 intergenerational living arrangements in the Drôme Ardèche region, with a success rate of almost 90%. The parties involved have reported both material and intangible benefits, such as improved quality of life and deeper relationships.
This initiative is an example of intergenerational cooperation to solve common social problems. It also shows that solidarity can be put into practice in everyday life, thanks to an association like Solidarité Habitats, which facilitates this intergenerational living.

‘The seriousness of the situation is enough to urge voters to go to the polls’: why a new vote for the municipal elections is looming in Clichy
The municipal council of Clichy, a town located in the west of Paris, is currently experiencing significant tensions. Accusations of financial misconduct and a failure to serve the public interest have been made against some local officials. As a result, the outgoing mayor announced his resignation on April 1, 2023.
The municipal council then decided to organize new, early municipal elections to replace the resigning mayor and renew the entire municipal council. Voters will therefore be called to the polls again to choose their local representatives.

This decision was made to restore citizens’ trust in their local administration and to put an end to the accusations of misconduct that have tarnished Clichy’s reputation. Voters will therefore be called to choose their representatives carefully, in order to ensure an effective and transparent management of the town.

‘My greatest asset is my own performance,’ says Kylian Mbappé, who continues to dream of winning the Ballon d’Or.
Kylian Mbappé considers his own performances to be his main asset in his pursuit of the Ballon d’Or. The French football player, who won the UEFA Best Young Player of the Year award in 2018, is now eligible for the prestigious trophy for the first time since he began his professional career. Mbappé, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team, has already won several major titles, including the Champions League in 2020 with his Parisian team.

Strike call by the CGT: Union calls for a ‘black day’ of strike on September 29th to protest the indexation of civil servants’ salaries.
The General Labour Confederation (CGT) has called for a new strike day on September 29, under the slogan “Black Day” for civil servants. This action is intended to protest against the implementation of a freeze on salary indices for French civil servants.
The freeze on indices is a measure taken by the government to reduce public costs and counter inflation. However, this decision has been criticized by several unions, including the CGT, which consider it a violation of the social rights of civil servants.
The Black Day is planned as a mass demonstration in Paris and other cities in France. Civil servants are invited to suspend their work for the day, in order to show their opposition to this government measure.
The CGT has also called on French citizens to support civil servants in their struggle against the freeze on salary indices. The unions hope that this action will be sufficient to force the government to reverse the measure and negotiate a more equitable solution for civil servants.
It is important to note that this is not the first time that the CGT has called for a Black Day for civil servants. Indeed, several similar actions have already taken place in the past, notably in 2019 and 2020.
In conclusion, the Black Day for civil servants is planned for September 29 and is intended to protest against the freeze on salary indices. This action has been called by the CGT and is planned as a mass demonstration in Paris and other cities in France. The unions hope that this action will be sufficient to force the government to reverse the measure and negotiate a more equitable solution for civil servants.
