Brest is a large seaport situated on the Atlantic coast (300km from Rennes which is the capital of Brittany, our region). Population of Brest : 150 000 inhabitants including 26 000 students.

The Youth Information Centre of Brest (BIJ) is a part of a network of 1500 info points throughout France. Our network has adopted the European Youth Information Charter.

The BIJ is a not-for-profit organization with an independent status but financed by the city of Brest, the local government and the ministry of youth and sports.

The BIJ is running by a team of 6 professionals.

• We welcome, inform and advise the public on : higher education, vocational training, employment, cultural and sports activities, travel, housing, health, individual rights, international mobility : jobs, volunteering, studying, work placements abroad...
