In 2016, SEED Foundation rose to the challenge: it decided to target the young public and to raise awareness on its missions. By the end of the year, this challenge was operational with a cycle of educational sessions implemented with 2 classes of 4th graders in an Ivry-sur-Seine school. Discover feedbacks on this fulfilling experience.

To complement and offer a broader vision of the school program

50 4th graders took part in 3 sessions animated by the team of SEED Foundation and volunteers. Videos, mimes, activities that stimulate their senses, all means may be employed to talk about agriculture and explain concepts such as exportation or solidarity to 8 or 9 years old children.

These sessions were focused on how “to enhance African cereals in Senegal”. This theme is directly linked to a project financed by SEED Foundation that aims at reintroducing local cereals such as millet and corn in bread and donut recipes in the region of Thies in Senegal.

As they were already well informed on the cycle of plants and on locating continents, the presentations were an opportunity to deepen their knowledge on the definition of cereals and on the problems actors of the bread sector could be faced with.
