Ecole alternative des Monts d'Arrée
En 2015, au plus fort de la “crise migratoire”, des citoyens des Monts d’Arrée, dans le Finistère, décident d’apporter leur soutien aux personnes migrantes qui se trouvaient autour de Calais. Très vite, sous l’impulsion de quelques activistes, l’association les Utopistes en action est créée avec pour but d’aider les personnes exilées et notamment les mineurs isolés présents sur le territoire. L’école alternative , structure éducative bénévole, voit le jour en 2018 d’abord sur la commune du Cloître-Saint-Thégonnec. Suivra une maison d’accueil, lieu d’hébergement pour les jeunes élèves de l'école. Aujourd’hui, et depuis 2021, l’école a déménagé sur la commune de Pleyber-Christ avec le soutien du maire et du conseil municipal.
La maison accueille une quinzaine de jeunes et l’école reçoit chaque jour entre quinze et vingt élèves. Parmi tous ceux et celles qui sont passé.es par l’école, beaucoup habitent et travaillent aujourd’hui dans la région. Un lien fort s’est créé au fil des années entre l’école, les bénévoles et les jeunes accueillis.
Over There in the Monts d'Arrée
In 2015, at the height of the "migrant crisis," citizens from the Monts d'Arrée in Finistère decided to support the migrants around Calais. Quickly, driven by some activists, the association Les Utopistes en action was created with the goal of helping exiled people, particularly unaccompanied minors, present in the area. The alternative school, a volunteer-run educational structure, was established in 2018 in the commune of Cloître-Saint-Thégonnec. This was followed by a welcoming house, a place for housing the young students of the school. Today, and since 2021, the school has moved to the commune of Pleyber-Christ with the support of the mayor and the municipal council. The house hosts around fifteen young people, and the school welcomes between fifteen and twenty students every day. Many of those who have passed through the school now live and work in the region. A strong bond has developed over the years between the school, the volunteers, and the young people welcomed.
