The project we started at the beginning of 2023 aims either to combat school drop-out which is constantly increasing in Tunisia and to provide effective activities of social and educational inclusion for children from Ettadhamen, near Tunis, and Ras Dhera, a neighbourhood of Tozeur, and also their families.

Particularly, after creating a physical safe aggregagation space to run an after school centre in Tozeur, we expand the educational offerings of the centre, by proposing sort of clubs focused on computer training, foreign languages including Italian, arts, drama, reading sessions, as well as study support and help with homework. We also organize trips to promote the sorrounding areas and to encourage the creation of strong group bonds.

The parents of the beneficiaries of the after school activities participate in regular meetings with the educational staff, facing topics such as the relationship between parents and children and the importance of education in order to reduce the spreading of negative social behaviours and school drop- outs.

Family support has a strongly positive impact on the children wellbeing, that’s the reason why the project actively includes parents.

In Etthadamen, we organize workshops for minors focused on teaching a safe and correct use of technological devices and the internet. Other than that, we propose awareness campaigns on children rights, non-violent communication and environmental protection in order to avoid the increasing of youth deviance.
