Maison des jeunes et de la culture Info
- The Maison des jeunes et de la culture (MJC) is an organization providing community arts, sports, and leisure facilities in cities, towns, and villages all over France. It was established in its present form in 1964, founded upon a series of organizations going back to shortly after the end of the Second World War. It is managed by a central council, La Confédération des MJC de France (CMJC) which allows considerable autonomy at regional and local levels. It is based on the traditional French republican values of secularity and responsible citizenship. In recent years much of its activity has been focused on improving community relations in problem areas of towns and cities.
