29. THE 'BELEEFPAS' (EXPERIENCE PASS): RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTYHageland+
The primary goal of this project conceived by six municipalities and Public Centres for Social Welfare was to facilitate participation in recreational activities for children and teenagers of families living in poverty.
This inter-municipal joint venture means that we are able to significantly increase the number of people we reach with this service. The different services of the municipalities are enhanced and disseminated via the “Beleefbrochure” (Experience Brochure). This creates more possibilities for programming options. It also encourages participation in the planned activities by eliminating certain barriers, such as organising transport, etc.
A well-conceived promotional campaign will announce the launch of the (VIP) “Beleefpas” (Experience Pass) and the message will be reinforced by the presence of a mascot in the form of a butterfly that was present at the launch of the (VIP) “Beleefpas” during various activities, performances, events, etc. The butterfly mascot also gives children the opportunity to express themselves through games and adapted methodology, activities that can take place at events as well as in schools, during holiday homework, etc.
