Each year, the Ardent Awards are supported by exceptional organizations and municipalities. Each one has a very specific mission, but all are driven by the same ambition: the desire to give to others. Their various projects, by their originality or suitability, stood out for the public and the jury.
Congratulations to all the winning organizations and municipalities and thank you for making each of the editions of the Ardent Awards a shining success!
Project: Booster CIREFASOL
Since 2015, Cirefasol has been working to improve the reception of migrants and provide support to vulnerable local residents. Collecting and distributing clothing and shoes, providing bicycles, helping with moves, supplying furniture and household goods, and offering French lessons and academic support are key components of our work. To continue and expand these efforts, our teams need to replace equipment that has become obsolete or acquire additional supplies to meet the demand.
Project: Création d’un espace Snoezelen
This new Snoezelen room will promote well-being among the residents of Château Vert, who have physical disabilities. The musical water mattress, the cocoon beanbag, the light column, and the multisensory cart will help them relax and stimulate their various senses.
Project: Un vélo pour tous
The non-profit organization EVA provides refurbished bicycles to people in need, while introducing trainees at our organization to bicycle mechanics. The project combines solidarity, social integration, and environmental sustainability by promoting mobility, independence, and social inclusion in Liège. It is a first step toward employment.
Project: Quand le collectif fait soin
This project will improve the well-being and cohesion of the Tabane community. On the one hand, hands-on and creative activities boost self-confidence and foster connections, sharing, and interaction within a supportive and safe environment (Tabane). On the other hand, this project looks outward; it involves exploring new horizons, discovering local and Belgian culture, and building trust in the outside world and in others. The collective fosters a sense of care.
Project: Adonomie
The Adonomie project supports young people aged 18 to 22 who are socially or family-disconnected in their journey toward independence. It provides secure housing, individualized support, and group activities that promote social integration, build self-confidence, and facilitate access to training or employment. Adonomie creates an environment conducive to personal growth and the building of a stable future for these young people who are homeless and often highly vulnerable, socially or otherwise.
