His Majesty the King visits the Play4Peace association

Great news for the Play4Peace association – with which The Brussels Drohme Golf Club proudly continues its partnership  –  which received the visit of His Majesty the King last week at the Play4Peace House in Molenbeek. Under the high patronage of the King since 2018, it was an opportunity for the King to engage in discussions with the youth of the association about their visions, hopes, and aspirations for 2030 and to rediscover the DNA of Play4Peace (which promotes the socio-professional inclusion of disadvantaged young students through a comprehensive program combining education, entrepreneurship, and sports) and its new partners.

Our new recruit, Lionel Couchard, had the opportunity to speak with the King and present the partnership program between the youth of Play4Peace and the Brussels Drohme Golf Club, which, as previously presented, offers these young individuals the chance to learn golf throughout the year, immerse themselves in the numerous values conveyed by our wonderful sport, and provide future opportunities to expand their network by meeting our entrepreneurial members and business leaders.

Several present youths were able to share their experiences with the King and highlight all the benefits provided by practicing golf within our club, a fantastic moment of listening and exchange that shed light on the commitments and values ​​of openness, inclusion, and professional and personal fulfillment through sports ardently defended by the Brussels Drohme Golf Club.

It’s worth mentioning that the Play4Peace association – founded in 2014 by its president Ayman Ramdani and currently jointly directed with its new director and golfer, Louis Dorsan Van Caloen – aims to break social and cultural barriers through sports and education. “Play4Peace annually helps over 1,000 disadvantaged youth – aged 14 to 26 – to break away from their routines, explore the world, engage in society, and invest in their neighborhoods/communities. In September 2023, Play4Peace also launched the Play4Peace Academy, the first Brussels pre-incubator aiming to provide the basics of entrepreneurship to less privileged youth, organizing individual and group coaching sessions, training programs, inspiring conferences, and stimulating networking events.”
