An open Stadium, accessible to its surroundings
Plaine Commune
The Plaine Commune Urban Community brings together the towns of Aubervilliers, Epinay-sur-Seine, L'Ile-Saint-Denis, La Courneuve, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Saint-Denis, Stains and Villetaneuse.
The cooperation between Plaine Commune and the Stade de France has been expressed since 2003 through the hosting of major events.
This collaboration was particularly highlighted by the World Championships in Athletics held from August 23rd to 31st, 2003 and the Rugby World Cup in 2007.
The Stade de France is a partner with Plaine Commune in organising sports tournaments every year, such as Plaine de Sport, as well as meetings held around the presentation of major architecture and town-planning projects such as Architecture Thursdays (in French, Jeudis de l'Architecture).
Plaine de Sport: every year, this is a sports meet held inside a mythical venue.
Every year in June, the Urban Community's youth discovers a whole world of sports within the grounds of the Stade de France.

In 2006, in keeping with the FIFA World Cup, the first edition brought young people together for a football tournament.

The year 2007 was set under the sign of the Rugby World Cup. On that occasion, sports meets organised around the oval ball marshalled a number of aspiring athletes from the 8 towns in Plaine Commune.
-
In 2008, with due respect to the Olympic Games, registered children competed in friendly contests over a multi-sports Olympic trail spotlighting athletics, football and rugby.
-
In 2009, young people once again imitated the feats of their favourite football stars on the legendary pitch of the Stade de France.
Here is every likelihood that in 2010, inspired by the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the young athletes will once more tread the pitch of the Stade de France, kicking a round ball!
Architecture Thursdays, meetings you cannot afford to miss
In 2009, Plaine Commune put the spotlight on one of the architect teams who worked on the Greater Paris project. Those meetings with residents, professionals and students have helped initiate debate on the presentation of a project through which each architect has showed his or her perspective on the development of the Paris metropolis. This series of metings, held early on Thursday evenings, will continue throughout 2010.
The schedule of the next meetings is available on: www.plainecommune.fr
A.D.A.Q. (Stade de France Neighbourhood Development and Local Events Association), Stade de France Sponsors and Neighbourhood Residents Associations
The Stade de France is proactive in its dialogue with neighbourhood residents and businesses Whether they are private individuals, professionals, or shop or restaurant managers, every person who lives or works in the vicinity of the Stadium plays a preeminent role and their voice deserves to be heard. Our objective is simple: to establish and maintain ongoing dialogue with people in our neighbourhood. This takes shape through yearly events held at the Stade de France in collaboration with the A.D.A.Q. (Stade de France Neighbourhood Development and Local Events Association) ), Stade de France Neighbourhood Residents Associations, Stade de France Sponsors, and the Union of Stade de France Neighbourhood Residents Associations.
The Stade de France Picnic: A local event that is crucial to our ongoing business All Stade de France Consortium departments work together year-round to make sure they provide a huge local event during the summer season.On that occasion, a giant Picnic is held inside stadium grounds. Ranging from relaxing leisure activities (gardening, Stadium tours) to sports (golf, football), all those activities aim at helping local residents experience an unforgettable day inside a legendary venue which is, for that day, reserved for their exclusive use.
