Over the years, our methodology has been developed and strengthened to better meet the needs of the children we welcome. Today, the daily lives of "Fiers & Forts" are marked by comprehensive and balanced programs that encompass daily and collective living, academic support, and numerous creative and sports workshops. The educational team takes turns day and night, even on weekends and holidays, to ensure a continuous and high-quality presence and support. It is essential for us that everyone finds their place and can flourish in their uniqueness. That's why each child is accompanied by a dedicated educator whom they meet on a weekly basis for valuable listening sessions, in order to establish their Individual Follow-Up Project, known as the FUP!
At Fiers & Forts, the well-being of the children is a top priority.
In addition to academic support that will enable the young adults of tomorrow to find a profession and achieve economic integration, we hope that the children grow into independent, fulfilled, and proactive young adults. That's why numerous workshops are implemented at the center and play a significant role in the daily schedules. Music, visual arts, gardening, cooking, karathéâtre, sports, skateboarding, and more serve as mediation tools offered to the children to work on exploring and expressing emotions, self-awareness and self-confidence, as well as acquiring essential skills and knowledge for life.
In the Fiers & Forts family, we are fortunate to have Brahim, a coordinator and educator who holds a 3rd Dan in Shotokan Karate and is a certified trainer. He shares his passion for karate with the children and imparts valuable values such as honor, humility, and self-control, which characterize this martial art and its instructor.
The Fiers & Forts love to play! Theater provides the children with the opportunity to embody a character for a brief moment. Through this exercise, our young actors work on their elocution and vocabulary, gain self-confidence by daring to go beyond their limits, within a supportive and encouraging group.
The "Fiers & Forts" skate!
In partnership with Concrete Jungle Foundation, the Fiers & Forts learn the basics of skateboarding as well as valuable life skills that can be applied outside the skatepark. In this context, they continue to develop qualities such as perseverance, respect, resilience, creativity, and many more. Skateboarding is also an excellent activity for releasing energy, gaining a better understanding of one's body, and making new friends.
Crucial for proper development, sports play a significant role in the lives of our children. They eagerly look forward to sports workshops and recess to run on the field and expend their energy. Every day, they surprise us with the creativity of the games they invent, and without even realizing it, they learn about respect for rules, perseverance, teamwork, and more.
lone, in groups, together, or in harmony, the Fiers & Forts sing whenever they have the opportunity. Madame Cécile, as the children affectionately call her, has been enthusiastically and skillfully leading the music workshop for many years. Through this universal means of communication and expression, each individual discovers their musical sensitivity. Between rhythms and melodies, they enhance their language skills through the lyrics of songs. These moments always resonate with the joy of being together, listening to each other, and harmonizing.
Since 2015, the center has based the maintenance of its educational vegetable garden on permaculture principles. All the Fiers & Forts participate in the life of the garden, and it pays us back well, bringing harmony, balance, and delicious food to our plates so that both young and old can be healthy.
