In 1999 in Toulouse, France, Josiane Troillet and Telia Djamila created a support committee to work locally with the Earth Charter. Their first step was to do a study on the relationship between a “United and Responsible” World view and the principles of the Earth Charter. They have organized a number of art workshops for children in the local schools. Later on they established the local French organization “Actions pour une Charte de la Terre”.
In 2003 and beyond the Earth Charter continued to be utilized as a pedagogical instrument in the work of “Actions pour une Charte de la Terre” which involved schools in different regions of France. These learning workshops with primary school children were organized under the theme “I will do something for my planet”.
