The project aims to promote cultural integration between children of different ethnic groups that share section and school. The world of a young child is often restricted to classroom, school garden, but only few students, the lucky ones, have the opportunity to expand their horizons. We want to make everyone feel their ethnic and cultural diversity as a richness and transport it in a positive way in the classroom context. We want the group class is cohesive and live well in school so that this positive input is also transported out of school context. We believe in the integration of children with disabilities and this project also intend to promote their participation to facilitate their inclusion in schools.
