The Terrain, the Player and the Consultant

In the second year of the project eleven teams were set up to localise and confront different perceptions of the neighbourhood and the urban projects that were already underway. To construct their points of view, the groups got together into working groups to write songs, design sports kits and to learn to play To Goal or Not to Goal, a game combining football and theatre.

The teams met up in “clubhouses”, prototype social spaces set up for the youth branch, inside the Anatole France activity centre and the Lili Boulanger primary school, because there is no dedicated place in the neighbourhood for local community activities.

• The Mission Publique team was made up of representatives of Plaine Commune and the city of Saint-Denis
• The Pleyel team represented the young people from Antenne jeunesse (the youth branch)
• The Barça team from Saint-Denis was composed of children who train at Barça Saint-Denis and parents who accompany them to their training sessions
