More than 200 groups will be there to present their activities, recruit new volunteers, run activities, or simply meet residents of the 12th arrondissement. As every year, the groups are divided into five main themes and located in five dedicated villages: - Environment, civic engagement, and local life - Health and solidarity - Culture and artistic activities - Sports and leisure - Youth and community education Don’t miss the Récup’ et Répar’ village! Mairie du 12 e invites you to the Récup’ et Répar’ village at the Forum des Associations du 12 e! This back-to-school season, don’t throw away items you no longer need and would like to get rid of.
