General Information

The Beit Project France is a branch of The Beit Project Association. The central team is composed by 6 people. The Beit Project association aims at transforming heritage sites into educational platforms for education toward diversity and inclusion, fighting all types of discrimination. The project is ephemerally present in Paris, Roma, Brussels, Ixelles, Berlin, London, Lodz, Marseille, Sofia, Bucharest, Tangier, Skopje, Nice and Athens. It creates an open school in the middle of the city, nomadic school which converts urban spaces into profound learning and empowerment places.

Mission and Objectives

The Beit Project and The Beit Project France carry out cultural and educational programs in France and in several countries in Europe to promote dialogue and tolerance. And create more inclusive societies.

Through our new project – The Boat Project – we aim to develop cooperation between mediterranean countries and populations to provide common responses to contemporary issues in the Mediterranean. It tries to make the sea a vector of connection and sharing between the different shores by developing in each port-city intercultural activities on different themes.

Main Projects / Activities

The Boat Project is a project proposing to make our common environment, the Mediterranean, an essential element of education for living together discovering the wealth of diversity from an innovative perspective. At the heart of the project : a boat, a sailboat, with on board a crew formed by young adults recruited all around the Mediterranean. Starting from Marseilles, the boat crosses the sea and create a link from North to South throughout a nomadic school : Marseilles, Tangier, Barcelona, Algiers, Genoa, Tunis, Athens and Palermo. The activities developed in each port aim to develop understanding and cooperation between young audiences from different Mediterranean port cities, through the "Compagnons de la Méditerranée".

The objectives of the project are to :
- bring together young people from different parts of each local societies in the Mediterranean and open the dialogue,
- create a link between mediterranean shores and create cooperation to provide a response to the contemporary challenges,
- forge connections between cities, associations and schools from all around the Mediterranean in order to raise awareness on the valuation of diversity and the cooperation necessity.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The Beit Project France is a structure mainly created to carry the Boat Project in the Mediterranean. We are currently developing partnerships in all the regions visited by the boat. Several foundations and institutional actors are already supporting the project : Matanel Foundation, EMID (the Euro-Mediterranean Institute for Dialogue between Civilizations), DIMED (Délégation interministérielle pour la Méditerranée), MuCem, institutional actors in Marseille and in the South of France...

We can bring to the Network a new project that pursues the Anna Lindh Foundation objectives and share a innovating pedagogical methodology.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to meet the Anna Lindh Foundation and join the ALF Network to create links with other organizations guided by the same objectives and strengthen the project in the Mediterranean by meeting others actors that know better than us the environment of this new project. We want to open the association to new perspectives et opportunities.

The Beit Project participated to a seminar on combating racism and anti-Semitism

The Beit Project takes part in a seminar on the plan to combat racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination based on origin

The Beit Project has been asked by the Direction Générale de l'Enseignement Scolaire (DGESCO) to take part in a national seminar to be held in Paris from February 20 to 22, 2024! The aim of this seminar is to support the implementation of the flagship measures of the plan to combat racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination linked to origin (presented on January 30, 2023).

One of the key measures of this plan concerns the organization of a historical or memorial visit linked to racism, anti-Semitism or anti-gypsyism for every student during their schooling.

It was as part of the first day, devoted to this measure, that the association was asked to take part in and present The Beit Project at the round-table discussion entitled "How far should the notion of a place/site of history and/or memory be extended?".

In attendance: a manager from the Musée d'histoire de l'immigration, a manager from the educational department of the Archives nationales, the head of the Seine-Maritime department's fund conservation service, and two academic referents for Memory and Citizenship.

An opportunity to exchange ideas and create new partnerships to develop The Beit Project in new academies!

The Beit Project présente son "école nomade"

Image
.

The beit Project a depuis a création comme projet pricnipal de créer des écoles nomades tout autour de l'Europe afin de faire participer les jeunes locaux des différentes villes européennes sur le vivre-ensemble, associatnt ainsi patrimoine historique à la lutte contre le racisme, l’exclusion sociale et les discriminations.

Les élèves commencent par construire leur propre « maison d’étude », en binômes : ils apprennent à se connaître en faisant. L’installation de l’école nomade dans l’espace public encourage la collaboration collective entre jeunes qui ne se sont jamais rencontrés mais partagent le même espace urbain. Le dialogue initié entre les binômes est ensuite élargi à tout le groupe. Plus tard, les débats intègrent les habitant.es du quartier et les passant.es, lors d’interviews filmées par les jeunes.

De Sofia à Bruxelles, en passant par Marseille, Nantes ou encore Skopje, ses "mini-projets" d'écoles ont poussés partout en Europe de l'Ouest comme de l'est ,en passant par la Méditerranée. D'ateliers méthodologies aux ateliers de montage, vous pouvez par exemple regarder cette vidéo montrant l'école nomade en Bulgarie.

A Sofia, le projet s’est achevé le dimanche 19 novembre à l’Institut Français. Un projet riche, qui crée de la rencontre entre jeunes de la communauté rom et d'autres communautés locales et porté depuis plusieurs années par une équipe fantastique et des partenaires locaux indispensables.

The Beit Project: the anchor is raised in Marseille to reach Tangier

The boat project

The Boat Project is the main project of the association The Beit Project. The aim is to make the Mediterranean a place of sharing and transmission. In order to make it a place of exchange and living together, the project boat travels between the two shores of the Mediterranean and offers a real enriching experience on board. The boat's crew, the "Compagnons de la Méditerranée", is made up of 8 young people specially recruited from around the Mediterranean.
Local inhabitants, young people and adults, from the five port cities on the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean - Marseille, Tangiers, Barcelona, Tunis and Bastia - will benefit from workshops and educational exchanges. Local schools and associations in each city are an integral part of the project.

The crew officially started its maritime crossing. The boat set sail on Thursday 12 January 2023: it left the city of Marseille for Tangiers. There, a stopover will allow it to continue to transmit its message: the importance of living together.

After spending several weeks in Marseille, training to hold educational workshops, the Compagnons de la Méditerranée set sail for their first crossing. "I am very happy to announce this departure, which we have been waiting for months. Even if the adventure has already started with the workshops in Marseille, this is another stage that has started and it is very motivating. I wish the whole crew good luck", says David Stoleru, founder of The Boat Project with Matanel.
