Les Enfants, le Jeu et l'Education means: Children, Play and Education. 

Due to the on-going geopolitical crises in the Middle East, Palestinian children live under severe psychosocial pressures that impact their growth and development. In these circumstances, if the basic rights and needs of the child are not respected, children can become traumatized and take that damage on with them into adolescence.

EJE is a non profit organization established and registered in Palestine. It began as a community group initiative responding to child development needs and rights fulfillment.

EJE’s goal is to contribute to the improvement of the psychosocial well-being and educational environment of the most vulnerable Palestinian children within the Palestinian Territories

Every child should have the right to a non-formal education which expands their creativity. Unfortunately, such needs are often unavailable and what EJE is seeking is to help children in taking an active role in our society by strengthening the child’s self esteem and self confidence. This is achieved by giving the child the chance to succeed in activities and thus satisfying his/her needs by PLAYING open games.A child who plays is a child who lives.

EJE is member of the federation la Voix De l’Enfant (VDE) who’s spokesperson is Mme Carole Bouquet. VDE is a French organisation which regroups 79 different associations working in 98 countries.

EJE is also member of Anna Lindh Foundation and of the International League for Child and Adult Education and Culture.
