NEWFEEL AND SPORT IN THE CITY

 

 

 

Erik, Sarah, Julien, Benoit, Jordane and Nicolas, 6 employees from the Lille area, want to work with the Sport dans la ville association (which helps young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods to reintegrate into society through sport) to offer new sporting activities: Nordic walking and race walking.

Each of them will sponsor a young person to support them on their career path.

 

 

 

RUN A DREAM

 

 

Kandy and the teams from the Taichung store (Taiwan) have submitted a project to the foundation to help people with disabilities through the Marie Social Welfare Foundation. During the project, 21 people will be supported to run a half-marathon and at the same time gain experience at Decathlon.

 

 

 

ODYSS' ET FORME

 

 

Pauline and the team at the Odysseum store (Montpellier) have decided to build a project with the Ligue contre l'obésité association. Their idea is to create routes around the city using existing infrastructures.

The aim is to enable people suffering from obesity to take part in physical activities as part of their daily lives. Every week, yoga and Nordic walking activities will be organized by store teams to create links with the association's beneficiaries.

 

 

 

HOOKS FOR HANGING UP

 

 

Julien and Rafaele, from Outshock (Decathlon's boxing brand), supported a fledgling boxing association. With the support of the Vieux Lille community center, the association promotes the academic success of disadvantaged youngsters through boxing. We wish them every success in this new adventure!
