  • Les mineurs isolé étrangers

    Lyon, 2014-2016

    Every year, thousands of children arrive in Europe alone, without parents or relatives. They come from countries at war or afflicted by the sourge of poverty. They flee from archaic systems that allow mistreatments, abuses, violence or constrictions. They run away from combined marriages, infibulation, child forced lever or hostile family environments. They look for a way out, hoping to live a better life. In France, these guys they are welcomed and protected until they are eighteen. They are called Mineurs Isoles Etrangers, foreign isolated minors. Specific structures, so-called Maisons, widened and welcoming family homes, help these youngsters with different ages and backgrounds, trying to provide them an environment as similar as possible to how the familiar one should be. It's here where they spend their adolescence and, often, their childhood. It's here that they are being looked after and cared, raised and loved. Here are welcomed not only foreigners, but also french kids, for short or long periods. At least until their families can recover financially or solve the other problems that caused the distancing. The guys play, go to school, practise sports and take care for the Maison. Educators assign them different tasks to increase their sense of responsibility and teach them the rules of peaceful and civil coexistence. They live together, in double or single rooms, they eat together and together they do recreational and educational activities. At the end, they become a family. And they feel so lucky to have found someone to help them, because they know to how many others the possibility to change their fate was denied.
