Sport brings us together. You are part of our team. Together we win! 🇫🇷🤝🇳🇱 🏅 NOC*NSF launched two impactful social inclusion projects through sport in Paris last September, continuing until the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The first initiative, District Spots, provides girls from underprivileged neighborhoods in northeast Paris the opportunity to engage in various sports 🏀⚽ and participate in numerous events across France and Europe. This program fosters values of well-being and inclusion. The second project, "the cycling school," focuses on enhancing cycling skills 🚲 for several women from the same neighborhood aimed at empowering them with greater independence and self-confidence. These projects embody the spirit of sports as a unifying force and demonstrate our commitment to promoting social inclusion through athletic activities. Together, we are building a more inclusive and confident community 💪. #Paris2024 #Paralympics #Olympics #NLFRtoujoursproches #inspireinclusion #AccelerateProgress #TeamNL Ville de Paris, Mairie du 19ème arrondissement, Fundación Fútbol Más Marc van den Tweel, Herbert Wolff, Sjors Metz, Esther Acda Spierdijk, Michael Pistecky, Alexandre Picque, Lise Lotte Pel, Jasmin M.

Let's win together: a Sustainable Aquatic Centre for the Olympic Games VenhoevenCS architecture urbanism, in collaboration with 2/3/4/ en Bouygues Construction, designed the Aquatics Centre in Saint-Denis with a focus on sustainability, leaving a lasting legacy for Seine-Saint-Denis. The Aquatics Centre will serve as a competition venue for water polo 🤽, diving, and synchronized swimming 🏊♀️, as well as a training facility for the Paralympic Games. Afterwards, the venue will transform into a complex offering various sports and events to local residents. VenhoevenCS employs upcycling to create furniture from wood waste and to manufacture seating from 100% recycled plastic ♻️. To address the challenge of reducing energy consumption in swimming pools due to water treatment requirements and high temperatures, an energy system has been implemented to decrease energy demand. This system allows up to 90% of the required energy to be sourced from renewable or recovered sources. Additionally, 50% of the water is reused thanks to an advanced water system. Finally, a solar roof is being constructed to supply up to 25% of the total electricity production.   #Paris2024 #innovation #sustainability #Paralympics #Olympics #NLFRtoujoursproches Michael Pistecky Lise Lotte Pel Jasmin M.

Electric bikes from Gazelle 🇳🇱 !   What better way to get around than on an (electric) bike 🚲?   During the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 🇫🇷, cycling will be in the spotlight. All competition venues will be connected by a 60-kilometre cycling network and the aim is to make cycling in Paris one of the main 🥇 legacies of the Games.   Of course, we will mostly be moving around by bike, which is why we are very happy that Gazelle has lent us electric bikes for this period to move around the city in a very sustainable way ♻️. Not to mention, also completely in orange style 🧡!   Many thanks 🙏 to Koninklijke Gazelle for these great bikes, they will be used a lot! #bike #sustainablemobility #NLFRtoujoursproches #gazellebikes #teamnl #paris2024   Bart Vissers, Lise Lotte Pel, Michael Pistecky, Jasmin M., Mariëtte van Empel, Marjo van Amerongen, Stein van Oosteren, Reinout Huizer, Agnès Raux, Elsa Cizeau, Cléopatra Zwiers
