On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the Commune of Rebecq organized the « Place aux Enfants » event, a fun and educational morning for children aged 8 to 12, which gathered about a hundred participants.

The young participants had the opportunity to explore numerous local professions and services through themed circuits designed for them, covering areas such as health, gastronomy, police, nature, mounted police, tourism, photography, public works, gardens, and leisure activities.
This initiative was made possible thanks to the active collaboration of numerous partners, including physiotherapist Mathieu Uyttendaele, the retirement and care home La Résidence d’Arenberg, the Ouest Brabant wallon police zone and the Federal Police, Deneubourg Bakery, La Table de Chrisoline, Les Vergers du Paradis, the Brasserie-Restaurant Chez les Garçons, Jardiplus, Sébastien Clavie, the Photo club Rebecq, La Ferme Sainte Catherine, the Beekeepers' Union of Rebecq, L’Oie Cire, the Library of Rebecq, the Petit théâtre d’Aquitaine, the Social Cohesion Plan, the Tourism Service Guides, as well as many volunteers led by Micheline Legrain.
Thanks to everyone's commitment, this morning was a complete success, allowing children to open up to the world of work and strengthen their civic spirit. It was a wonderful day of discovery, encounters, and learning.
