OUR actions

Tour Letan works at the heart of the local community to create, promote and pass on knowledge and heritage.

Through projects combining employment and social inclusion, heritage promotion, leisure and water-based activities, culture, and support for local initiatives, the association works to make the Étang de Saint-Paul area a vibrant, dynamic and welcoming place for everyone.

From the eco-friendly leisure centre and local makers’ markets to community events, activities and discovery projects, Tour Letan designs and develops initiatives that bring residents, local stakeholders and their territory closer together.

Partner Platform for Employment

Social Inclusion &

Employment

Create inclusive economic opportunities by connecting residents of QPV priority neighbourhoods with community projects, local skills and employment, social inclusion and entrepreneurship opportunities rooted in the local area.

Bring together partners such as France Active, ADIE and CCI, as well as local associations and organisations from the social and solidarity economy (SSE).

Support local residents on their path to employment and entrepreneurship, highlight hidden talents, and support people who are currently far from the labour market.

A first event was held in Grande Fontaine, as a morning session dedicated to employment and social inclusion.

More than 20 partners involved, from the non-profit, business, institutional and training sectors.
