• Coverage of expenses related to the SUCCESSFUL DEPARTURE event, organised by the Collectivité on March 28, 2026

Since 2010, the Collectivité has organized SUCCESSFUL DEPARTURE (SD), an information and guidance day for young people leaving for France. Initially run by the Youth Service and then by the Maison de Saint-Martin (MSXM) from 2022 onwards, this event is now part of the Student Orientation and Mobility Pathway (POME).

For its 13th edition, SUCCESSFUL DEPARTURE 2026 will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Saint-Martin Interprofessional Chamber of Commerce (CCISM). This edition marks a significant evolution: beyond the traditional school audience, the event is open to young people outside the school system, job seekers, adults undergoing career transitions, and parents. This openness illustrates the inclusive mission of POME, which recognizes that the importance of educational mobility extends beyond the school setting and concerns the entire territory.

The program includes a partner network, thematic interventions (housing, practical life, administrative procedures, finances, autonomy) and practical workshops, organized on a voluntary basis, in order to best prepare each departure project.

On this occasion, some partners agreed to make the trip. As in previous years, the Collectivité decided to cover the travel and accommodation expenses of those attending the event.

The Executive Council decides to cover all expenses related to the organization of SUCCESSFUL DEPARTURE 2026, including the following items:

- Logistics: general organization, installation, first aid, cleaning, security;

- Communication: visuals, prints, publications, promotional items;

- Restoration;

- Transport of the "Rough Guide to Alternating Work and Study";

- Mission order of the two agents of the Maison de Saint-Martin;

- Travel and accommodation expenses for partners and invited participants, for the period from March 27 to 29, 2026

The council anticipates that the aforementioned expenses eligible for European co-financing will be covered, by way of reimbursement, up to 85% by the ESF+ 2021-2027, with the remaining 15% and ineligible expenses remaining the responsibility of the Collectivité ; this is in accordance with the provisional budget and approves the financing plan below:
