Graines de Paix works to help children and young people grow and learn in a world undergoing profound change, marked by digital technology, artificial intelligence and increasingly complex relationships.
In concrete terms, we :
- develop educational resources,
- supporting the players in education,
- deploy educational programs adapted to today’s realities.
These actions strengthen the interpersonal, emotional and citizenship skills of children and young people.
They help prevent violence and build a more peaceful society.
For Graines de Paix, peace education is not an abstract ideal.
It’s a skill that can be learned from childhood.
Peace education aims to :
- prevent violence,
- develop emotional management skills,
- strengthen respectful relationships,
- learn to resolve conflicts by means other than force.
It is embodied in concrete teaching practices, integrated into the daily life of classrooms and educational environments.
No.
Graines de Paix works on educational content and practices, not on infrastructure.
Our role is to reinforce :
- pedagogical postures,
- interpersonal skills,
- learning environments,
to make schools safer, more inclusive and more conducive to learning.
Graines de Paix is currently involved in :
- in Switzerland,
- in Benin,
- in Cote d’Ivoire.
Graines de Paix is gradually developing its activities in new educational contexts, in collaboration with local and institutional partners.
Several areas of development require financing:
Pedagogy and tools
- development of new programs and teaching aids,
- creation of training modules, including e-learning.
Field programs
- extension of our activities in Switzerland and West Africa,
- strengthening violence prevention and inclusive education programs.
Digital
- development of digital teaching resources,
- improved accessibility and languages.
Each support helps to reinforce the lasting impact of our educational actions.
Our actions are mainly aimed at :
- children and young people (from kindergarten to secondary school, ages 4 to 16),
- teachers and educational staff,
- parents and educational communities.
We always work with local players to ensure that our interventions are adapted to cultural and educational contexts.
