The Elissa Project. 
Call for Ideas
Named after the founder of Carthage (Modern day Tunisia), t he Elissa Project, currently under consideration, is an outreach program of the  Ibn Khaldun Institute.

The project is about helping to promote early childhood education (with emphasis on girls' education) in Tunisia.
 
We hope to harness the experience and the good will of our members to establish productive cooperation channels with the education circles in Tunisia in order to help promote quality education for young children.
 
A discussion on this subject among a limited number of our members has already started, and a broader consultation among all members will determine the project's scope, structure and methods of work.
 
If you would like to participate in this project and/or have ideas you would like to share,
