2. Dominique, from France: "Ecole elemetaire de la Benauge is situated in the city of Bordeaux in a rather disadvantaged area, but quiet and secure. This area is well connected with the center of the city (15 minutes by tram). A lot of pupils have important school difficulties but a good behaviour. 85 % of children’s’ families are native from other countries (Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria...), but especially from North Africa and Africa. So, children are very open-minded to other cultures. We work with different local partners like, after school care institutions, pre-elementary schools, a botanical garden (scientific projects), the Conservatoire (music school), sports associations and parents association."
