The Terrain, the Player and the Consultant

The Grand Encounter took place on 23rd June 2018, bringing together all eleven teams and their many supporters for a tournament with live commentary.

The matches that took place in To Goal or not to Goal enabled each group to express their points of view, hopes and concerns, as well as to offer their own responses, in the presence of the Mission Publique team, made up of representatives of the city of Saint-Denis and of Plaine Commune. This event was an opportunity to respond to a desire for the collective and for the neighbourhood to express itself, to acknowlege all these people’s strength in their presence, to experiment with these social spaces and encounters thanks to the fact that the Gymnase Aimée-Lallement was open to everyone, and to enjoy a shared meal organised by various neighbourhood voluntary associations on the Place des Pianos.
