A universal and welcoming place

QJ is a universal, welcoming, caring and friendly place, open without distinction to all young people aged 16 to 30, whatever their profile: high school pupils, students, young professionals, civic service volunteers, young people looking for jobs or internships, apprenticeships or volunteer work... In addition to hosting the Centre d'information et de documentation jeunesse (CIDJ) and other associative or private structures, this space in the heart of the capital enables young people in Ile-de-France to benefit from advice and solutions. Concrete answers can be provided on all subjects that concern them. Work-sharing rooms are freely accessible, and young people will soon be able to enjoy a convivial break in a café area and on the QJ terrace overlooking the Louvre Museum.

Participatory governance

In 2021, young Parisians were consulted several times on the offer, programming and governance of this space. The name QJ (for "Quartier Jeunes") was chosen from their proposals. The governance of QJ will be participatory, with the forthcoming creation of an advisory committee comprising 4 colleges:

1. institutional representatives and City of Paris departments
2. associative partners (including CIDJ)
3. companies
4. a college of young people who will be asked to give their opinion on QJ's strategy, issues and major orientations (programming of activities and services).
