A new Apprenti'Bus

A big novelty for the Apprenti'Bus program this year, with the acquisition of a new, more flexible and more mobile minibus.

Created in 2009 to help the young people of Sport dans la Ville progress in written and oral communication, theApprenti'Bus is a playful and attractive program offered to 9-11 year olds in a travelling bus in the neighborhoods where the association is based.

In order to allow the children to take ownership of this unique and innovative learning space, the format of the bus has been modified for the 2016-2017 season: the new Apprenti'Bus is more flexible, it can easily be positioned next to the association's "But en Or" pitches and the interior fittings have been designed to optimise the working space.

About a hundred children from the Lyon area are registered this year at theApprenti'Bus to carry out the following projects: writing and scriptwriting a comic strip, making video reports in their neighborhoods, writing a collection of free writing, participating in the Prix du Petit Libraire 2017, running a blog.

The program is set to expand in the coming years and we hope to acquire new minibuses as soon as next autumn in Grenoble, then in the Ile-de-France and Hauts-de-France regions!

Many thanks to our partners, who made it possible to finance this first new bus: BioMérieux, Fondation Et Si, Fondation Financière de l'Échiquier, Fondation La Poste, Fonds Decitre. The computer equipment for the new minibus was made possible thanks to BD, Strand Cosmetics Europe and the 64 generous donors to the crowdfunding campaign launched for the Apprenti'Bus.
