Binôme 21

Binôme 21 is a French association founded in 2010 with the slogan "Favorisons le lien intergénérationnel" (Fostering intergenerational bonds). The organization focuses on fostering connections between generations and offers solutions to break social isolation. Binôme 21 organizes social visits and interactions in various geographical areas, along with remote interactions such as phone calls, personalized card sending, Skype video calls, and mailing. These interactions are facilitated by young volunteers who have undergone a 35-hour training period. Each volunteer is mentored by a Binôme21 representative and receives monthly training and awareness sessions through video conferences. Despite its impactful mission, there is no public record of Binôme 21 receiving any significant direct investments or investors in the past. The initiative has been driven by its altruistic mission and volunteer support, possibly limiting its scalability and potential for expansion. However, the societal significance and innovative approach of fostering intergenerational connections may attract interest from impact-driven investors or philanthropic organizations looking to support initiatives addressing social isolation and enhancing community bonds.
