With the growing inequalities that can be seen in today's world, between different countries, regions, populations, the Picardie Regional Council has chosen to stand by international solidarity actions. They set up and support projects of public interest. The Regional Council aims to encourage financially charity initiatives from any active organisation in Picardie towards developing countries.

Through the Agence des Micro-Projets (office of microprojects), the European Guild (la guilde européenne du Raid) supports international solidarity projects set up by small and medium French organisations. Its expertise is well known, both by public or private protagonists, acting for international solidarity.

AFD uses a wide and growing range of financial instruments to underwrite its funding activities.

The “UNESCO Associations, Centres and Clubs" are made up of people of all ages, all conditions and professions, which seek to spread the ideals of UNESCO and to contribute to the achievement of its objectives.

"Dear friends,

We have been very glad to hear about all the projects GreenBees are setting up, as we are when men and women get together to fight for a good and human cause. Your drawing contest on the topic of Cultural Diversity is a strong binding project, in the respect of all diversities. We are convinced that it will bring harmony and joy in the hearts and heads of children participating to this contest."
