Keeping the spirit of ‘Living together’
 

How can we celebrate such a Day in dignity and the values it embodies when current international events seem to constantly contradict them? 

At Le Projet Imagine, this question is something of a recurring theme, even a real leitmotif. For our team, living together is not an abstract concept. It is an almost organic reality upon which we rely to build a wonderful human adventure.

It began back in 2008 with the first volunteers who believed in Frederique and her ambition to provide accurate and authentic information, to restore hope and to take action. A small, humble core group, determined to prove that peace is nothing other than idealism in action. Over the years, this circle has grown with you — donors, partners, teachers, volunteers and citizens — forming a family committed to the common good.

This beating heart, as you know, has two ventricles: inspiration (the breath) and action (the movement). Through our educational programmes, we see community spirit taking shape and becoming firmly rooted in the minds of teachers and the imaginations of pupils. How magic it is to see a class discover its power to Act Together, to taste the Joy of Commitment and to understand that it can transform the world in the image of their dreams of goodness!

Living together is a social skill that translates into practical expertise. It is this sense of unity that inspires us and gives meaning to our mission.

On 16 May, let us not deny ourselves this joy; let us resist the siren calls of doom and gloom, and focus our attention on what uplifts us. 

More than just an idea, living together is a driving force for peace.

Thank you for being part of this journey alongside us!
