ASSOC. SPORTIVE ET CULTURELLE PARIS LATINO has been proudly rooted in the city of Paris since its founding in 2003. Our mission is both cultural and human: to serve as a bridge between Latin identity and the broader Parisian society by using sports, cultural expression, and community engagement as our tools for unity, growth, and impact.
Preserving and Celebrating Latin Culture
At the heart of our mission lies a deep respect for the cultural richness of Latin America. Our association is a space where the diverse traditions of Latin communities—whether they originate from Central America, South America, or the Caribbean—can be preserved, shared, and celebrated.
Through events, workshops, and collaborative projects, we shine a light on the customs, languages, dances, music, and cuisines that form the soul of Latin heritage. Our mission is not only to showcase this culture but to protect it from erasure, encourage its evolution in a contemporary setting, and allow new generations to connect to their roots with pride.
We believe that culture is not static. It is a living, breathing force. It evolves, it influences, and it unites. Through structured and spontaneous cultural expressions, we help our members rediscover who they are while showing the world what Latin identity looks like in motion.
Encouraging Physical Well-being Through Sports
Another vital aspect of our mission is the promotion of sports and physical activity. Physical health, discipline, teamwork, and emotional well-being are all strengthened through movement. We are committed to making sports accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or ability.
Our association offers a diverse program of sporting activities ranging from recreational fitness to competitive team sports. Whether someone is looking to improve their physical condition, build friendships through team games, or simply find a healthy outlet in their daily life, our sports programs are designed to welcome and encourage.
In the spirit of Latin energy and enthusiasm, our sports events often feel like celebrations. But beyond the joy, we understand the long-term value that physical activity adds to people’s lives—especially in communities that often face socioeconomic challenges. Sports are a path to empowerment, and our mission is to make that path accessible and joyful.
Creating a Safe and Inclusive Community Space
Our mission goes beyond activities. We are building a community. A safe, welcoming, and respectful space where everyone—regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or economic situation—can feel they belong.
In the world of ASSOC. SPORTIVE ET CULTURELLE PARIS LATINO, no one is anonymous. We learn each other’s names. We greet with sincerity. We share stories. We grow together. Through the trust that forms in our community, we help people feel seen, heard, and valued.
This commitment to inclusivity is one of our most important responsibilities. Latin communities are often made up of immigrants, workers, families navigating life in a new country. Our association is here to help make Paris feel like home—to provide a place where people don’t just adapt, but thrive.
Promoting Intercultural Exchange
Our mission is not to isolate Latin culture in a bubble but to use it as a tool for dialogue, discovery, and collaboration. We invite the broader Parisian population to join us—not as guests, but as participants. Through shared experiences like festivals, open dance classes, public concerts, and exhibitions, we bring people from all walks of life together.
In doing so, we help combat stereotypes, reduce prejudice, and foster mutual respect. Latin culture becomes a bridge, not a border. And the beauty of that bridge is that it leads both ways. We also encourage our members to engage with French culture, to contribute to civic life, and to see themselves as active citizens of the city and the world.
Our mission includes nurturing this dual identity. You can be proudly Latin and proudly Parisian. You can speak Spanish or Portuguese at home and participate fully in French public life. You do not have to choose between your heritage and your future.
Empowering Youth and the Next Generation
The youth are our future, and our mission places strong emphasis on supporting them. We offer programs designed to help young people explore their identity, develop life skills, and find positive mentors and role models.
We create opportunities for artistic expression, physical activity, and leadership development. By investing in young people, we are not just helping individuals. We are cultivating the next generation of leaders, creators, and changemakers who will carry the values of our association forward.
Our commitment to youth includes workshops on civic engagement, academic support initiatives, and cultural literacy programs. We believe every child and teenager deserves to feel confident, capable, and connected to a supportive community.
Advocating for Equity and Social Justice
Our mission cannot ignore the social realities that many of our members face—discrimination, economic hardship, housing instability, or limited access to education and employment. While we are not a political organization, we are deeply aware of our social responsibility.
Through partnerships, advocacy, and targeted programming, we support the social inclusion and empowerment of marginalized individuals. We promote gender equality, challenge systemic inequalities, and provide platforms where all voices are valued.
By encouraging dialogue, building confidence, and helping members access essential information and networks, we are playing our part in a more just and inclusive society.
Growing Together, Always
In over two decades of existence, our mission has remained constant while adapting to new challenges and opportunities. We know that community work is never finished. Every generation, every group of members brings new energy, new ideas, and new needs. We embrace this evolution.
Our mission is not just a statement on a page. It is visible in our weekly dance rehearsals, our neighborhood soccer tournaments, our multicultural dinners, our mentorship programs, and our everyday interactions.
It lives in the conversations between strangers who become friends. It thrives in the applause after a child’s first stage performance. It pulses through every rhythm of our music and every heartbeat in our gymnasium. Our mission is lived, not only written.
We are here to celebrate, to connect, to support, to educate, and to uplift—through Latin culture, sport, and community.
If our mission speaks to your heart, we invite you to get involved. Contact us at contact@Forsaving.site or visit us at 14 rue Humblot, 75015 Paris. Together, we can turn shared values into collective impact.
