Dance battles, inflatable games during the “Trachel Party.” Rue Trachel took advantage of the initiative by the La Ruche social center to honor the residents with a party.
To celebrate the 120th anniversary of the La Ruche social center and the beginning of summer, Rue Trachel in Nice is filled with activities for the whole family. Two days to bring together the locals around dance battles, games, or “relaxation” moments. These are the missions of the local associations, La Ruche and Trait d’Union Vernier.
Becoming a neighborhood actor
This is the goal of the Trachel Party. Najia Bendieb, the director of the social center, explains her desire to “bring the neighborhood to life“. She aims to bring families together and get them to participate in the life of the neighborhood. “We’re each at home“, she laments, pointing out this barrier to socialization.
Laughter, encouragement, applause, and new encounters. The objective of last Friday and Saturday was to “play, laugh“, but also “to get to know each other. It’s about participation in the broadest sense“, summarizes a determined Najia.
Indeed, for this party, it’s about “co-participation“. On one hand, through the time capsule that is expected to be opened in 2050. Hand in hand with future generations, residents will be able to write them a message. To make it memorable, “we will put memories of this day in it“, smiles the director. The time capsule will be sealed on land belonging to Semeuse.
Additionally, the proceeds from the refreshment stand will fund future editions of the “Trachel Party.” A suggestion box is available for those who wish to propose ideas for future activities. The aim is to bring forth initiatives. The principle: “I act and I co-decide“.
Francis Malherbe, from the association’s steering committee, details the commitment of La Ruche: “The residents need to realize that the association is at their service“.
