For the past 30 years, we have designed and implemented hundreds of educational projects that resonate with the most crucial challenges of our daily’s lives. Our conviction is simple: “Whatever the question, EDUCATION is the answer.”
Through education, children, young people, adults can claim ownership of and better exercise their rights as citizens of the world. Through education, any group of people can get together, build common values, strengthen democratic principles and enable social change. The organizations we have been working with, international institutions, large Foundations, small NGOs, cities, have all taken this educational path to better define their mission, communicate their values and goals and ultimately provide a better service to those people who trust in them and those in whom they trust.
Through education, one should therefore seek to encourage all social actors to think, question their surroundings and contribute to social dialogue, thus going back to the etymological root of the word “education”: “educere”, which means to draw out from within.
