These teachers, in addition to their chalk, want to use their microphone to teach students about respect for the common good, the importance of respecting barrier measures in a tense health context.
In any case, this is the objective of this caravan which launches this month and until May in several regions of the country.

This caravan will travel through six regions of the country with shows, board games and awareness raising on respect for the common good and the importance of respecting barrier measures.

Civics and citizenship

“
The caravan turns everywhere with the aim, through music, of conveying messages of good citizenship and citizenship.
And also with the pandemic we saw this year, we told ourselves that we were going to place a very particular emphasis on awareness, on barrier measures.
The child must know that
this disease does exist, and that it is dangerous,
”explains Alimata Thiombiano, alias Axelle Kidann, president of the National Bureau of teacher-musicians.
Transmission
In view of the measures announced against the coronavirus in schools, the meetings will bring together fifty student-ambassadors from each province visited.
And these student-ambassadors will in turn be responsible for transmitting the messages to their comrade, according to the teacher-musician, Augustin Passamdé Sawadogo, alias Ocean:
“
Fifty students will come from several schools, a bit like ambassadors who will follow the activity and relay what we have taught to their classmates, especially insisting on respect for barrier gestures, on how the disease is transmitted.
And we will soon be releasing a compilation still in the awareness.
"
For reasons of insecurity, some regions will not be visited by this caravan this year.
