With its Future Trophies, Europe 1 rewards companies, associations or local authorities each year for their audacity, their innovation and their visionary side.
In the running for the Solidarity Trophy, the Maisons de Vincent are places of life and reception adapted to autistic adults and backed by agroecology.
The mission of the association Les Maisons de Vincent is to create living and welcoming places backed by agroecology to promote the inclusion of autistic adults in society.
Hélène Médigue, actress and director, founded Les Maisons de Vincent considering that "the management of autism has not been up to par in our country for more than fifty years."
Connecting social, local economy and ecology to facilitate inclusion
The association wishes to link the social, the local economy and the ecology to facilitate the inclusion of autistic adults.
The first house opened its doors in March 2021 in Mers-les-Bains in the Somme.
It includes a grocery store that distributes bread made by residents, but also local organic products.
Quality educational support
Through its houses and its teams, the association provides the right tools to promote activities, well-being, develop potential and above all reduce residents' medication with quality support.
A model that it wishes to extend in France, in particular in the Lubéron and in the Landes.
