Who We Are
The Carrefour Social Interculturel pour l’Intégration (CSII) — also known as CS2I — is an independent non-profit association whose mission is to support migrants, refugees, or vulnerable individuals in their journey towards civic, social, and professional integration.
Based in Kremlin-Bicêtre (94), our organization welcomes, guides, supports, and trains over 4,000 people each year, representing more than 100 nationalities, with a profoundly intercultural, ethical, and inclusive approach.
Our action is based on three founding principles:
- Respect for human dignity
- Valuing cultural diversity
- Strengthening the republican social bond
