From 3 to 5 July, a Habitat and Humanity mobile solidarity stop was set up in Fourvière Square. In Lyon.
Solidarity project
The Solidarity Stop Mobile is a mobile project supported by the Habitat et Humanisme Rhône association. This Lyon bus is thus a place of support, inclusion and social and professional integration. This bus travels from one neighbourhood to another to meet the most vulnerable people, who are often invisible and far from institutions and public services. Then, once installed, the team of buses, made up of volunteers and employees, sets up workshops on employment, health and culture with the help of local residents. It is a project that aims to create social bonds in the affinity movement. » Perrine Lepage, Director of Escale Solidaire Mobile, tells us:
Special link with Fourvière
For 4 years, the Notre-Dame de Fourvière square has been hosting this mobile solidarity station. Indeed, this site is one of the most important points of diversity in the city of Lyon. Between tourists, Lyon residents, people living in precarious situations and volunteers from the Fourvière Foundation, everyone can meet and exchange ideas.
On the evening of July 3, the Mobile Solidarity Station and the Fourvière Foundation organized a dance performance entitled “En Cœur”. This performance, with Brazilian rhythms, was choreographed and directed by Tarik Ait Meddour. The rest of the week, the Fourvière Foundation offered free tours of the church and its rooftops, which offer a magnificent view of the city of Lyon.
