Travels with Simba. Discovering the World

Project „Travels with Simba. Discovering the world” is an initiative in the frame of multicultural education. The main aim is to show children some aspects of non-European cultures. We would like to promote the principles of democracy and we will touch such problems as, racism, xenophobia and discrimination.

We plan to organize educational and artistic activities, interesting games and trips, as a part of our voyage through three continents: Africa, South America and Asia. Our aim is to enable children to know better the countries with different cultures, habits, customs, flavors, and sounds. Most of the children cannot afford to travel so far. The project “Travels with Simba. Discovering the world” is a unique opportunity for them to discover the world staying at the same time at home.

We plan to organize two events in which everybody would be able to take part. It will be, a multicultural picnic and a football match between children and refugees staying in Poland. “Travels with Simba. Discovering the world” is a part of a bigger program: “Summer in the city 2008”. This initiative will last 6 weeks (from 30th June up to 08th August) in the Primary Shchool nuber 148, Hugon Kołłątaj at Ożarowska 60 street in Warsaw.

The project is realized thanks to the financial support of the Wola district council - city of Warsaw
