Schoolchildren in Côte d’Ivoire and Germany
Schoolchildren in Côte d’Ivoire and Germany started, in 2005, to exchange projects on environmental education and many other topics such as health, poverty, art, culture, economy. An exhibition about great apes and a website have already been set up. The development of an international network of schools can help to generally increase awareness towards the priority of the protection of nature.
Since 2004, WCF is working together with the “Cellule des Projets Environnementaux” (CPE), an association of teachers headed by Tanoh Koudio and his coordinator Hilaire Guiloahoux who introduced environmental education in nearly 200 schools east of the Taï National Park.
The Ivorian partner classes are in Soubré, Petit Tiéme and Wonséaly and the German ones at the high school of Werdau in Saxony. A first exchange of letters between the pupils of both countries has already taken place. In Ivory Coast the project started officially on the 25 March 2005 in Soubré. In Germany the project started on the 28 April 2005 with, among other things, a theatre play about gorillas which was inspired by the theatre play of WCF and “Ymako Teatri” about chimpanzees.
