GreenBees is an International Solidarity Organisation set up
in France in June 2007. Its goal is
to
defend and foster cultural diversity in various areas of the world.
Our action
We support local organisations,
who have expressed a need, in setting up actions at school. These actions,
aim to help children become aware of their cultural
identity. There are 2 types of actions that we can set up:
- Workshops: We have developed frameworks of creative and youth-oriented
workshops. They aim to introduce a different way of teaching, as well as to
raise the children's interest for their culture, through acting, active
participation to an exhibition, to a visit or to a discussion with a puppet.
The topics are selected by the teachers. GreenBees brings the logistic and
materials for the workshop.
- Development projects: the aim is to
continue the action after we have left. To this aim, a developing project is
discussed on site, with our local partners. They take into account the
existing structures, the weaknesses, the local financing networks, the
importance of culture in the school programmes...
How do we act?
-
We first contact local educational structures through
a local not for profit organisation.
-
A coordination team is set up with all
local parties involved.
-
A project (workshops or
development project) is set up by the coordination team, that must fit into
the school programme.
-
The project is submitted to
GreenBees, for validation and organisation.
-
Arrival on site, organisation of the activity
with the coordination team, and
ideally parents and school teachers.
-
The project is launched over
a period of a few months to one year.
-
Assessment of the achievements and follow-up
of the action.
