Paris Basketball Foundation Expands Horizons for Youth through Sports and Culture
The Paris Basketball Foundation (PBF), driven by its commitment to community engagement, has renewed its participation in the EuroLeague’s ONE TEAM program for the second consecutive year. This time, they are launching an exciting new initiative called “HORIZONS” to offer young people from Priority City Neighborhoods (QPV) enriching cultural experiences through sporting activities.
What is the HORIZONS program?
The HORIZONS program aims to provide young people from QPV with new cultural horizons by hosting a series of workshops throughout the 25-26 season. In collaboration with local association Hope 18, these workshops blend sporting activities with cultural discoveries.
Each workshop begins with a basketball session centered around a specific theme, followed by a related cultural outing. This innovative formula combines sport, culture, and openness to new experiences.
A Look Back: The First Two Workshops
So far, the HORIZONS program has successfully organized two workshops focused on the art of cinema. Participants, including Soumaya, Majeed, Sitou, Soufiane, Minata, and Lina, enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at the seventh art. They screened film extracts, learned about special effects, and actively debated costumes – all made possible thanks to the introductory basketball sessions.
Through initiatives like the HORIZONS program, the Paris Basketball Foundation reaffirms its dedication to supporting young people in their personal development and access to new horizons. This electrifying experience yet again underscores the power of sport in building communities.
Upcoming Workshops: A Musical Focus
In the coming weeks, the HORIZONS program will host two workshops centered around music. On the court, musical games that mix rhythms, silence, and sports sound effects will prepare young participants for a subsequent cultural outing at a cinema library.
