FOREVER YOUNG

Supported by the Municipal Youth Service and the Socio-Educational Mission, the Forum Jeunes aims to promote cultural and sporting activities in the heart of the city. Young people from Mance are invited to share in and admire the performances of a wide range of activities: dance, martial arts, concerts, graphic design, etc. Urban culture and its disciplines play an important role. In 2001, the event attracted 6,500 participants, whereas today it exceeds 30,000. On September 22 and 23, 2017, for its ^16th edition, the event by, for and with young people was transformed into a biennial, with a few new features.

Sport was also in the spotlight, with the Forum Jeunes' first Color Run, starting in Place des Quinconces and attracting 1,300 participants. In parallel, there were also a number of areas where young people could express themselves and obtain information. The "Village des initiatives" showcased projects in the fields of commitment, volunteering and mobility, in partnership with the Coup de pouce project assistance program.
