─「華道角」(Le
Valdocco)
成立於1995年，是阿讓特伊一個社團，阿讓特伊位於巴黎市郊，於上世紀九十年代初曾受市內動亂影響。這個社團的成立，源於一次慈幼會士與當地關注兒童未來的居民團體舉行的會議，旨在使會祖的教育法，在當時市郊的環境中復蘇起來。
阿讓特伊「華道角」有賴一些外展教育者團隊，走到街上與瀕臨危機邊緣的青年會面。社團還設立了日間中心，服務輟學青年。
他們於2005年在里昂及阿讓特伊開設了新中心，在外展教育者團隊的協助下，為來自市郊的青年提供另類課程。他們亦為由兒童法庭轉介的問題青年設立專門的中心，舉辦社康及教育活動。
他們於2012年，在法國尼斯開設教育支援服務，沿用了「華道角」的模式，而社團亦於2014年度，在里爾開設另一中心。各中心的模式源出一轍：在家庭、學校及屋邨裡，與青年會面。
社團亦開設了職業訓練學院(Institut de formation aux métiers de la ville - IFMV )，讓社工、教師及商業機構的董事，對青年事務有更深入的了解。
社團的創始人暨首任負責人，慈幼會Jean-Marie Petitclerc神父，現已把這項服務，擴展至法國中部、南部及北部。2014年2月，平信徒專業教育者François Le Clere接任成為負責人，他也在「華道角」負責一些培訓工作。Petitclerc神父目前專注於IFMV的未來發展。
Le Valdocco
(ANS - France –Paris) - Le Valdocco is an association founded in 1995 in Argenteuil, a district of the Parisian suburbs that was disturbed by the violence of urban riots in the early 90s. The association was formed as a result of a meeting between a group of residents concerned about the future of their children and the Salesians of Don Bosco, eager to revive the pedagogical model of their founder in the present situation in the suburbs.
At Argenteuil Le Valdocco can count on several teams of street educators who go out to meet young people in situations of risk. They also have a day centre for teenagers who have dropped out of school.
In 2005 they opened a new centre in Lyons, and here too, with the help of a team of street educators, they offer alternatives to young people from the suburbs. They also run a centre for social rehabilitation and educational activities for troubled teenagers sent by the Juvenile Court.
In 2012, the Le Valdocco model was replicated in Nice, with educational support services, and the association is currently planning another centre in Lille, to be opened in 2014. The formula is always the same: meeting young people in their families, in schools and in housing estates.
The association has also started an Institute for Vocational Training (Institut de formation aux métiers de la ville - IFMV ) to give social workers, teachers and business executives a better understanding of youth issues.
The founder and first Director of this initiative, which has now spread to the Centre, South and North of France, is Fr Jean-Marie Petitclerc, SDB. Last February he was succeeded as Director by a layman, François Le Clere, a professional educator who did some of his training at Le Valdocco. Fr Petitclerc now devotes his attention to the further development of IFMV.
