Initiated in 2016 in 15 localities in Burundi, this project raises awareness among 15,000 children about the importance of school and the discrimination they face, thanks to Playdagogy. The project aims to positively change the representations and behaviours of children - especially the most vulnerable - in order to bring them back or keep them in school.
