The City of Sarcelles organized the second edition of the City Encounters on November 6-7, 2026, an event that brought together officials, researchers, community actors, and residents to debate the major challenges facing neighborhoods.

The Jacques Berrier hall hosted this event for two days, designed as an ideas laboratory aimed at encouraging open discussion and generating concrete proposals. Eight round tables allowed for the discussion of major topics such as the prevention of brawls, the place of women in public spaces, the inclusion of people with disabilities, the promotion of urban cultures, adaptation to climate change, media coverage of neighborhoods, and social cohesion in the context of the future ANRU III program.
This second edition saw the participation of 41 speakers over the two days. Among them were 12 elected officials representing 11 different municipalities, 12 experts and academics, as well as 17 community and association representatives. Nineteen associations were highlighted. A delegation of young people from Metz was also welcomed for a citizen workshop with the young people of Sarcelles.
