Voile en tête GB
Marseille Edouard Toulouse hospital Center organizer of “Voile en tête 2006”.
“Voile en tête” is a water sporting event of European standing , organised under the aegis of “Sport en tête”, the Union of Mental Health Sport group.
The purpose of this event is to bring between twenty to twenty five sailing boats together each one representing a psychiatric hospital or social-medical institution.
The crew members selected amongst patients, nursing teams, and instructors, will be brought round to exchange and meet during the sporting events stretching along the week long cruise.
Even if the sporting vocation of the event is obvious, the regatta is only a pretext for a human adventure opened to the sea world , a new space likely to have a therapeutic interest .
Nowadays Marseille displays a well known image of a city opened to the sailing world and the mediterranean sea so it’s quite natural that an important establishment specializing in mental health like Edouard Toulouse Hospital should organize the 15th edition of “Voile en tête” in 2006.
This federative project requires some financial, logistic and human investments.
I has been scheduled for a week between Marseille, La Ciotat, Les îles du Frioul, Martigues, Les Calanques, from September 18th to September 24th.
