Testimonials

The aim of The Schools Challenge is to help these young people reflect, at an age when they are beginning to become fully aware of the world and of themselves. It's not a top-down transmission, but rather a springboard we're trying to build for them (...) By questioning the objectives of
sustainable development on a planetary scale, the young people are at the same time positioning themselves as active participants in a local life that needs to be thought out and rethought (...) My greatest satisfaction has been to see the students surprise themselves!

Colin Labouret

Mentor

Thanks to this experience, I've realized that I'm capable of doing things I thought impossible before. I've learned to express myself better, to listen to others more attentively and to be patient. The program also showed me that, with motivation and determination, you can really see things through to the end.

Kahina

Student, The Schools Challenge

The Schools Challenge has changed my vision of education. It's not necessarily repetitive and focused on learning lessons (...), but much broader and more fun. I've also changed my vision of group work. I always thought I could do everything on my own, but now I know that group work is important, I'd even say necessary, and without my group, our project wouldn't be as great as it is.

Kryss

Student, The Schools Challenge

Les Bâtisseurs is different because it shows us that even if we're small, on our own scale, we can do a lot of things (...) We don't really see it as work. We really take it as a game (...) When, for example, we have ideas, and someone else has another idea, and then we add them together and it makes good ideas (...) I've learned that you're never too young to do something big, and that in fact a little of everything is possible.

Primary school pupils

Builders of Possibilities

It adds another dimension to school and classroom learning. We give meaning to the work and effort that students put in; they see that their projects have a real resonance in real life (...) If I hadn't been accompanied by the Bâtisseurs approach and team, I don't think I would have been able to change my teaching practices to such an extent. No matter how much you want to become a facilitator (...), without Bâtisseurs de Possibles, I find it very complicated. I was very well supported by the team.
