Mission
Fondation de la Chenelière
Since the Fondation de la Chenelière became fully independent, following the sale of Chenelière Éducation, the publishing house where it originated, we have chosen to diversify our areas of focus, guided by a philosophy that views education as the solution to contemporary challenges.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
– Nelson Mandela
Therefore, we have chosen three main areas of focus for education:
• Education and the visual arts
• Education and the performing arts
• International education
The vast majority of all fundraising efforts are dedicated primarily to human health causes and research to find cures for various diseases, which is important and necessary. However, education and the arts in general receive far less funding, even though they are the foundation of every human being’s development.
The more we give children, teenagers, and adults the tools to rethink the world through the arts, the more our education will be enriched. The more generously we give to educational institutions in developing countries, the closer we will bring the world to a mutual understanding of peace.
