Millennium Fellowship Project: Lire Ensemble
"Lire ensemble", reading together in English, is a series of reading workshops that engage underprivileged young people and children. The workshops particularly favour alternative educational approaches through games and interactive participation. They give children from 10 to 17 years old a unique introduction to the literature by creating an inclusive and community-based learning experience. The "Lire Ensemble" mission is to encourage and support a passion for reading among children while creating reading spaces in rural and peri-urban areas of Togo from August 2022.
