Review meeting of the Global Territorial Convention (CTG) at the Vallée Dordogne Forêt Bessède Community of Communes.

The Vallée Dordogne Forêt Bessède Community of Communes held its second review meeting for the Global Territorial Convention (CTG) on Thursday, September 23, 2026, an event led by Evelyne Berteloot-Beaufils, coordinator of the Childhood Youth & After-School Pole.

This meeting brought together elected officials, associations, services, and local partners to share the actions already carried out and future prospects. The goal is to strengthen the support offered to parents and young people.
Among the highlighted projects, the 'Espace Enfance' leisure center notably hosted trainees with disabilities from the Foyer de vie Le Bercail. Workshops on health, hygiene, and nutrition were led by a nurse from the Centre Hospitalier de Bergerac. Prevention actions on consent and the dangers of the digital world were conducted in partnership with the Maison de Protection des Familles, and educational fact sheets were created for parents and children.
Co-construction and youth autonomy are also central concerns, with sports, cultural, and civic trips, cohesion stays, youth work camps, and immersions such as at Futuroscope or a trip to Morocco, the organization of which is shared with adolescents to stimulate their sense of responsibility.
Engagement and citizenship are reinforced through solidarity actions and collective projects that transform adolescents into actors of their territory and strengthen social bonds. The CAF and the community of communes also support young people's paths by financing the BAFA (Brevet d'Aptitude aux Fonctions d'Animateur), with 20 young people scheduled for training in 2026.
The proposed program is rich, accessible, and adapted to the projects of each structure, including workshops for toddlers, intergenerational meetings, thematic programs for leisure centers and teenagers in the area, and guided museum tours in Paris during trips. The Micro-Folie Périgord noir plays a key role in local animation and social connection for all families in the territory.
