Happy back-to-school! But not for everyone...

It's September again, back-to-school month in Luxembourg and many other parts of the world. A year ago, UNESCO shared with us some figures that we mobilized for our campaigns: 244 million children and young people aged between 6 and 18 still don't go to school. Although this figure may have changed slightly, the conclusion remains the same: there are far too many children and young people who cannot go to school, even though it is their right.
As UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said: "No one can accept this situation. Education is a right, and we must do everything we can to ensure that this right is respected for every child".
While the start of the new school year is usually accompanied by joy and excitement, let's not forget how lucky we are to be able to go to school.
We continue to implement our projects with our partners so that children from underprivileged populations can benefit from quality education all over the world.
Thank you all for your support and commitment. Every little gesture can make a big difference.

Global education - explaining why 244 million children and young people have no access to education


a board game on access to education in Africa
In 2012, CSI created a board game about access to education in Africa. The game was a huge success. Last year, the global education team reworked all the LEKOLI materials, both content and form, and an English translation was added. We are pleased to announce that the printing of the "large model" and "small model" games is now underway! Lekoli is designed both as a family game, and as a basic tool for animation or further reflection on topics related to access to education. The game touches on many concepts and the game is even more enriching when preceded or followed by a discussion with the children.
A great way to combine learning and play!
