To get a good idea of Education4All, it is useful to first look at the name. Education4All, education for everyone. So you can conclude from the name that it is a project that focuses on education and transferring knowledge. In addition, it is important that it really transfers knowledge to everyone involved in the project. Since 4Watoto is active in both Congo and the Netherlands, Education4All focuses on exchanging knowledge and experiences in the two worlds. Precisely because 4Watoto is active in two countries, it is a great opportunity to make a connection here.

Something that goes hand in hand with 'education for all' is making it available to everyone. Education is something that does not belong to a certain group, class or religion. Education and knowledge is universal and there is no distinction in this. Whether that takes place directly or indirectly.

Education stands for knowledge and there is more to it. Think for example of independence, self-reliance and self-reflection. By using education as a tool, certain systematic, social problems can be tackled. Instead of temporary dependent solutions, you are dealing with a permanent independent approach through education. It is therefore an investment that can take a long time. At the moment that these change processes have been set in motion, we can speak of a snowball effect. The acquired knowledge is passed on to the next group of youth and young adults. After which they do the same again. A community becomes independent as a result.
