The Brussels non-profit ToekomstAtelierDelAvenir recently visited Lotto Park as part of the Tous Mauves project. Thanks to the TADA weekend school, one class had the opportunity to explore the stadium, create a banner in honour of Jan Vertonghen together with an artist, and take part in a football training session in the Astrid Park.
ToekomstAtelierDelAvenir (TADA) is a Brussels-based network that supports young people from socially vulnerable backgrounds in finding their place in society. One of the ways they encourage personal growth is through their weekend school. One of TADA’s classes recently visited Lotto Park as part of Tous Mauves, RSC Anderlecht’s inclusion project.
At the stadium, the young participants were given a guided tour by Didier Vanderburght, maître d’hôtel of the Park. Afterwards, their knowledge was tested through a short quiz about the club and the stadium. The class then took part in a workshop led by street artist Puncheur, who last summer created graffiti artworks of the Red Devils across Belgium. Together with the artist, the TADA students created a stunning tifo in honour of Jan Vertonghen, who bid farewell to Lotto Park last week.
To round off the day, the class also received a football training session in Astrid Park, delivered by a coach from RSCA’s youth academy. An unforgettable experience for the TADA youth.
