Move Closer

Leisure and sports activities help you find your way into a new environment. The Move Closer project invites new people in Brussels to enjoy themselves and feel at home through the community and activities of Les Gazelles.

Together we look for activities that motivate the participant the most: participation in sports or creative activities, volunteering, setting up activities themselves, or a combination of the previous options.

Health

At Les Gazelles, we not only attach importance to sufficient exercise. An appropriate diet is also necessary for all those who participate in sports. As an organisation, we promote a healthy lifestyle to all our runners. After each training session, we therefore provide free drinking water and a healthy snack.

To strengthen this aspect of our operation, we entered into a partnership with Gezond in Brussel. Les Gazelles bets on a sustained commitment to healthy eating. Read more about it in our commitment statement.

Dialoog in Beweging

With the project “Dialoog in Beweging”, we use sport and play as tools to encourage connection and dialogue between people living in Brussels.

Through accessible and participatory activities, we create spaces where participants can experiment, share experiences, and better understand one another.

Movement becomes a common language: it helps overcome language barriers and provides a safe environment to address topics such as stereotypes and polarization.

Together with Brussels-based partners, we develop playful methodologies that clubs, facilitators, and participants can use within their own activities and organizations.

Playcation

This summer, with the project “Playcation”, we open our courtyard in Anderlecht as a free space for play, movement, and social connection for children and young people from the neighborhood.

Without registration or performance pressure, everyone is free to use the space as they wish: to play, move, meet others, or simply be present.

We work in a participatory way: young people themselves help shape the atmosphere and the use of the space.

With accessible materials and close guidance, we create a safe and inclusive environment where fun, relaxation, and connection are at the heart of everything.

A neighborhood bar, open to everyone, helps strengthen connections with local residents.
