In the heart of Nevers, a change is blowing through the culinary landscape. What if this restaurant was much more than just a dining place? What if it represented a true revolution in the inclusion of people with disabilities? Let’s discover together how this establishment stands out and paves the way towards a more inclusive society.
The restaurant scene in Nevers is about to undergo a major transformation thanks to a bold initiative led by Adapei Nièvre. This new company, focused on the inclusion of people with disabilities, embodies a true societal and economic gamble.
An ambitious project in the heart of the city
Located in new premises on Avenue Colbert, this inclusive restaurant fits within a dynamic development driven by Corinne Charbonnier, president of Adapei Nièvre and Unapei Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. For the past five years, Thierry Le Goaziou, the general director of the association, and his team have been working to bring disability to the heart of the Nevers urban area, advocating for true social diversity.
Goals and commitments
One of the main goals of this project is to create an environment where every individual, regardless of their situation, can thrive professionally. The restaurant aims to recruit and train people with disabilities, thus enabling them to find their place in the job market and actively participate in the city’s economic life.
Training and support
To achieve this goal, a specific training process is being implemented. This involves preparing future employees for the various tasks inherent to the restaurant sector while taking their particular needs into account. This project also aims to be a model of support and assistance, in close collaboration with families and local institutions.
A major social impact
Beyond the economic aspect, the opening of this restaurant has a significant social impact. By integrating people with disabilities into its teams, the establishment contributes to changing mindsets and promoting a more inclusive society. The customers also play a key role by accepting and supporting this diversity.
Future perspectives
If this model succeeds, it could indeed become a model to follow for other cities and sectors. The question that arises is therefore legitimate: will this restaurant revolutionize the inclusion of people with disabilities in Nevers and beyond?
