Last Saturday, several hundred of you came to discover the various services offered by the island's associations. Of the 49 associations present at Vanterpool Stadium, we asked you which ones particularly caught your attention. It was a great opportunity to share these wonderful discoveries with as many people as possible!
Keilah:
“I just arrived in Saint-Martin and, for my work, I would like to get to know all the existing associations, especially those related to young people. There are two associations that have caught my attention: one has just arrived on the island and is working to strengthen ties between the police and young people; the other supports young people with their mobility when they go to mainland France for their studies or for other reasons. They have developed a very practical game that simulates a young person's budget, including rent, etc.”
Coralie:
“We recently arrived in Saint-Martin, and initiatives like this one allow us to discover more about the island. We were interested in everything cultural. We had already looked into the oldest association on the island, I believe, ACS Zepin. We had a good chat with them today; it was interesting. They offer discovery hikes that allow you to acquire historical and cultural knowledge, and that suits our family and our desire to get to know the island better.”
Rebecca:
“I work for an association, and the reality is that there are many associations in Saint-Martin, but unfortunately, they lack visibility. There are many, but we don't know what they offer. That's why I'm here: to discover them. I really liked the association that offered us the chance to try shooting! I didn't know about it.”
