The aim of the association Terra Incognita

The aim of this association is to contribute to children’s cultural awareness and the ideas that children can have about others and themselves. We believe that understanding each other’s cultures helps to prevent fear and rejects prejudice which is often linked to ignorance. We hope this book will contribute to exploring intercultural relationships, emphasizing the complementary nature of the cultures instead of their differences. We consider that culture is a constantly evolving system which is enhanced by meeting others.

 

Supporting project aid

The educational aim of our association is complemented by the giving of aid in a spirit of togetherness. The sale of each book helps to finance various aid projects.

 

The series

The vocation of our association is to create a series of books with photographs for young readers (8-12 years) about cultural differences. The content of these books encourages discovery, understanding and knowledge of diversity and cultural differences. They can be used as pedagogical learning supports which will explain the daily life of children from other nationalities. Simple words and basic facts have been used in order to encourage children to show an interest in other children’s daily life.

These books have 84 pages and more than 80 photos. They are available in 215x215mm format.
