Enfants du Monde
Our Methodology
In order to enable children to participate in the sustainable development of their communities and countries, Enfants du Monde systematically promotes education for sustainable development as part of its interventions:
- Interdisciplinary and bilingual teaching modules address the most pressing sustainability issues in each context: “Water is life,” “Living better with climate change,” “Eating well, living better,” “Living in peace.”
- Ethical reflections challenge learners to examine their own value systems and perceptions in order to change certain practices (child marriage or child labor, girls dropping out of school, female genital mutilation, etc.).
- Classroom projects provide concrete solutions to problems identified at the local level, thereby promoting children’s civic participation.
Issues Addressed
- Children’s rights: child marriage and child labor, female genital mutilation, low civic participation among children;
- Environmental protection: vulnerability of populations to the effects of climate change, illegal logging, water management;
- Health and well-being: girls dropping out of school once they start menstruating, early pregnancy, high rates of malaria, malnutrition, consumption of unsafe water;
- Culture of peace: inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts.
