The project
Since 1933 Les Stations de Plein Air manages and organizes activities for children living in and around Brussels and also coming from less advantaged backgrounds. The organization is located in a nine-hectare park, classified as a special part of Monuments and Sites of Belgium, only a few kilometers from the capital.
Les Stations de Plein Air wishes to promote an active and healthy occupation of leisure time among children and youth.
It aims to develop their sense of creativity, their ability to live together and their sense of citizenship. As such, they are also very happy to be able to welcome young people coming from abroad, and they hope that a connection can be created between their young summer camps leaders and the group of international volunteers.
Your support will help the organization promote healthy activities and well-being among kids. (UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being, UN SDG4 Quality education).
