Sport Dans La Ville

DÉPART association, created in 1987, aims to facilitate the social and professional integration of people in difficulty. It fulfills this purpose, in particular through participation in integration actions led by other structures sharing the same objectives. As such, the association leads the "Stars and Women" project, initiated in 2015 by the insertion company La Table de Cana Marseille (TDCM), the leader of the region in the catering sector. 

In 2015, TDCM set up a high-end catering training program in Marseille: "Stars and Women", aimed at women from priority neighborhoods in the city. The objective of this project? Supporting promotions of 12 women to get a catering qualification with practical training in the kitchens of Chefs partners of the program.

Solidarity AccorHotels has been supporting this initiative since its creation in 2015 in Marseille. In 2017, the Fund is also supporting the extension of the project, first in Montpellier and then in Bordeaux. In each of these three cities, some AccorHotels Chefs are engaged and receive for one year a beneficiary alternately in their brigade, to share experience and practical advice.

In 2018, Solidarity AccorHotels renewed its support for the three cities and supported the spin-off of the project in Paris-Ile de France with three new Chefs from the Groups involved.

Involvement of the teams:

In Marseille: Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port and MAMA Shelter are involved for 3 years. Some Chefs took part in the 2015 and 2016 editions: Pullman Marseille Palm Beach, Pullman Marseille Provence and Grand Roi René Hotel (MGallery).
