Solution
Le Sens de l'École offers 3 different workshop courses, for CM1-CM2-6e, in priority education. Their aim is to help children change their outlook on school and put meaning into their schooling, to enable them to take their full place at school and in the world.
Free of charge for schools, the courses consist of:
- 4 workshops of 1h30 led by Le Sens de l'École in team with the teacher;
- 4 sessions led by the teacher using the teaching aids;
- an extension designed by the teacher to enable him/her to anchor the benefits of the program in the classroom for the long term.

✨ Le Sens de l'Ecole is 5 years old ✨
Dear difteurs,
On January 10, 2020, we filed the association's articles of association! The timing for launching a project in schools wasn't ideal, as 2 months after the first workshops, confinement arrived!
🚀 What followed was to exceed our wildest hopes:
2021-2022: 16 speakers trained, 708 hours of workshops run, 2550 pupils accompanied.
2022-2023: 22 speakers trained, 1158 hours of workshops led, 4150 pupils accompanied, 7 half-days of teacher training
2023-2024: 36 speakers trained, 1752 hours of workshops led, 6500 pupils accompanied, 7 half-days of teacher training.
2024-2025: 50 trained facilitators and (we very much hope!) 2700 hours of workshops run, 9900 students accompanied.
The multiplication of workshops is just the tip of the iceberg. Deep down, real transformations are taking place: for students, for teachers, for the climate of classes and even schools. We bring a breath of hope, recreate an alliance, and help everyone regain confidence in the school as well as in their own ability to act.
What an adventure these 5 years have been! It's a source of pride to have invested thousands of volunteer hours listening, building, improving, convincing, federating, training and being able to offer our action to schools free of charge.
Thank you, dear difteurs, for your support!
The entire Sens de l'Ecole team wishes you a year full of joy, meaning and impact ✨

Why we love it?
Virginie and her team are more than motivated to fight failure and inequality at school, and their action is acclaimed by many: to test Le Sens de l'École is to approve it!
At Sens de l'École, we dream of a society in which every child can flourish and give his or her best at school, where they can deploy their talents and make a positive contribution to the world.
