Presentation
BSF Belgique concentre ses efforts dans le domaine de l’éducation, de la culture et de l’information, leviers cruciaux pour l’émancipation des populations les plus vulnérables. Nous aspirons à réduire les inégalités scolaires à travers la création et transmission d’outils et contenus pédagogiques innovants, ainsi qu’à travers l’empowerment des acteur·trices de terrain via des formations et accompagnements autour des différents projets développés.
Nos missions éducatives s’articulent autour de deux axes majeurs :
Éduquer au numérique : Grâce aux projets « Inclusion numérique », « Digital Buddy » et « Cyber Héros », Bibliothèques Sans Frontières Belgique propose des formations ainsi que des ressources pour la plupart gratuite pour (faire) découvrir le numérique et faire de tou·te·s des citoyen·nes numériques actif·ves, critiques et créatif·ves.
Éduquer par le numérique : Bibliothèques Sans Frontières Belgique promeut l’utilisation de la plateforme Khan Academy auprès des enseignant·es et éducateur·ices en Belgique et renforce l’intérêt et la découverte des STEAM via « Les questionautes ».
Dans ce cadre, nous quatre priorités de travail en Belgique sont :
1. Citoyenneté et inclusion numérique
2. Equité scolaire
3. Promotion de la lecture
4. Intégration des personnes refugiées.
