In Portugal
State of play

In Switzerland
It was the meeting between Jean-Daniel and Lorenzo that led to the creation of GAPBleu, a new Siel Bleu entity. Their desire? To combine Adapted Physical Activity with dance.
In India
It was through an Ashoka International training on innovation and health care in the world that Manish discovered Siel Bleu. Convinced, he embarked on the adventure with a mission: to create a sustainable, autonomous structure in order to redistribute the benefits to people living in poverty without access to basic infrastructure, food, clothing and Adapted Physical Activity.
Our similarities
Each new entity is independentbut has a common basis: the same message throughout Europe and internationally!
Fundamental principles: Financial and geographical accessibility
From strong non-negotiable values that are carried beyond borders:
- the professionalism of our speakers, (but not only)
- benevolence, (but not only)
- autonomy, (but not only)
- adaptability and creativity, (but not only)
- non profitability,
All this in all simplicity and by taking and giving pleasure to share our daily life (with a smile, of course).
So you + us (+ him + her, and all those who want to), we will always have this same will!
