Solidarity missions with Planète Urgence
When AREVA staff participate in humanitarian missions abroad
Since 2003, AREVA has provided employees within its French business units with the opportunity to take part in solidarity missions in one of the countries where the group operates, for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. These missions are carried out during the staff's own vacation or personal leave time and are known as "solidarity leave".
A project based on volunteering
This form of patronage allows employees to place their professional and personal skills at the disposal of an international solidarity mission in a southern hemisphere country. They thus contribute in a concrete way to humanitarian aid without being specialists in it.
The number of volunteers grows each year, a sign that staff hope to be involved in the group's patronage policy.
Pedagogical patronage
The missions, partly financed by the AREVA Foundation and organized by Planète Urgence, focus on assistance for adult education: English language, office skills, computer skills, project management, help in the creation of micro-enterprises, etc.
The objective of these short missions is threefold:
- to reinforce the abilities and professional effectiveness of adults to give them the means to improve their situations and those of their families,
- to bring supplementary expertise allowing projects to be carried out,
- to guide children in apprenticeships to fight against illiteracy and encourage reading.
