“BRUSK collective is an action and reflexion group that develops its activities upon skateboard culture. Our projects’ methodology is collective organisation with youth involvement at all levels…”

“The collective aims to develop initiatives that integrate skateboard culture into the urban and semi-urban through :

- The creation and construction of skateboarding areas and mixed urban spaces;
- Expert advice, consultation and help on building sites;
- Training for helpers in skateboarding and construction of skateboarding areas;
- Organising events linked to skateboarding.

Our philosophy is to make sure that skateboarders – who live in the city and bring it to life – are directly involved in our work. Besides, our activities also involve:

- Spreading information and connecting the different skateboard communities;
- Organising cultural events (concerts, exhibitions, film projections…) in a bid to spread “skateboard culture”;
- Setting up design, creation and construction workshops of skateboard areas or skatepark elements with the youth;
- Organising “sport” events (such as skate sessions, lessons, skate camps, or competitions);
- Helping the youth to be autonomous in: project management, animation and construction, and the general upkeep of the area.”
