SCHOOL BUS PROJECT
OUR MISSION
At the School Bus Project, we believe that you don’t have to go to school to get an education
... school can come to you!
Together with Children of Calais & the LASER network of Coop schools we are converting buses into mobile schools that will provide vital education & support for the refugees trapped in Calais and across Europe.

OUR PARTNERS:
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US

A pop-up school is a 40-hour course of study that ‘pops-up’ in camp to provide learning opportunities for refugees. Eg our Language acquisition through cookery pop up school includes foreign language teaching, numeracy, cookery, health and safety, budgeting, planning, fire skills, nutrition, hygiene, cultural diversity and provides delicious, nutritious meals for a whole community.
Ways to sponsor:
-
Donate funds to sponsor a pop-up school for a whole community

THE BUS CONVERSION
We have now bought and converted our first bus, thanks to Laura and everyone who helped. Later this summer, it should be hard at work in Calais. You can see the stages of progress to give you some idea of what we had to do at our gallery here.
