En octobre, on s’engage

All through October, Place des Halles raised awareness of social and environmental issues by organising fun and artistic activities as well as charitable initiatives:

– Sneakers Addict – custom & DIY: two sneakers customisation stands, with artists or DIY

– Mon vélo s’énergise (Boost my bike) by Ohm&Watt: bike electrification demos by Strasbourg bike shop Ohm&Watt

– Eco-art by Kholab: an ecological fresco made of 150 recycled jeans, created in a live painting in the shopping centre and then exhibited during the whole month with the possibility to buy the canvases to support the NGO Octop’us

– Forum de l’Emploi (Employment Forum): a giant job dating in the shopping centre in collaboration with Pôle Emploi

– Défi solidaire with La Strasbourgeoise: a treadmill with a challenge (“1 km run = €10 donated to La Strasbourgeoise” + a “Rose du Rotary” auction to support La Strasbourgeoise + a flashmob on the theme of breast self-exam “Atouna Palpito” + the “le salon rose” (the pink lounge) of La Strasbourgeoise

– PlastiCycle & vélo vidéo by Ludik Energie: two stands to turn cycling into electrical energy, watch videos of the NGO Octop’us or create an object from plastic bottle caps

– Hallogreen: a stand with DIY Halloween decorations as well as sustainable make-up for children

– A competition to win 3 bike electrifications and 15 canvases from Kholab’s eco-work
