SPORT IN THE CITY

Supported in 2023 as part of the Entrepreneurs in the City program

Founded in 1998, Sport dans la Ville is France's leading association for integration through sport, and its mission is to contribute to equal opportunities for young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

All the programs set up by the Association help to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of the 12,000 young people we support: access to regular sports activities, promoting social and professional integration, supporting entrepreneurial talent in local neighborhoods, contributing to the emancipation of young girls.

Sport dans la Ville works in priority urban neighborhoods to (re)instill a taste for sports from an early age (pitches are accessible from 6 years upwards), boost self-confidence, and contribute to the self-fulfillment and emancipation of young girls through long-term support, right through to professional integration.

Sport dans la ville works with women:

  • Encourage women's sports activities (dedicated sessions and sports outings)
  • Boosting girls' self-confidence and leadership (self-esteem and self-actualization workshops, trips)
  • Promote career guidance and integration for girls (meet inspiring women, discover careers, help with work-study schemes, internships, employment, etc.).
  • Promoting gender diversity and equal opportunities for girls and their families
  • Supporting young women entrepreneurs (over 50% of beneficiaries supported by the Entrepreneurs dans la Ville program are women)
