The animals of Noah's Ark

Descrição das atividades

The "Service National de la Jeunesse (SNJ)" (National Youth Service) is a state agency subordinate to the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth. The SNJ's tasks include contributing to the creation of the legal framework, organising educational programmes for children and young people, supporting young people in their transition to active life. Which animal would you take with you on your ark and why? Based on these questions, the participants will deal with the issues of diversity and discrimination. Every animal has its strengths and weaknesses and its own needs. They are all unique and equal (or not?). The participants should choose an animal and think of a background story for it. They are then asked to produce this animal through upcycling. The participants will be supported by artists. Later, the animals should be used to talk to children about diversity and discrimination.
