(BOLLORE ) – As part of International Education Day, the Bolloré Group looks back on the educational projects it supported in 2020 as part of its Earthtalent by Bolloré solidarity program. In close collaboration with its local teams, the Group has provided financial assistance to nearly 70 educational projects in 18 pays, among which :

• In India, the Anandan project, which each year allows 500 children in very precarious situations to benefit from access to a quality educational program.
• In Guinea Conakry, ten students received an academic scholarship allowing them to study at the National School of Arts and Crafts (ENAM).
• In France, in partnership with the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, several students have been awarded scholarships and also benefit from support from Bolloré Group employees to provide them with moral, financial and professional support.

For several decades, education has been at the heart of the Bolloré Group’s commitment to solidarity. Through its Earthtalent solidarity program, the Bolloré Group relies on its regional roots to support local association projects mainly in the fields of education, vocational training and entrepreneurship.

« Earthtalent by Bolloré was created in 2010 with the aim of providing concrete help to local populations in various fields, in particular education, the main focus of our program. By coordinating our efforts with local teams, we will continue to fulfill our mission to support young people over the long term and give them the means to succeed on their own. declared Dorothée Van der Cruyssen, Director of International Solidarity Commitment and Patronage of the Bolloré Group.

In 2021, the creation of the B’Excellence scholarship program will make it possible to consolidate the actions already initiated and to give the possibility to students with an academic background of excellence to continue their studies. This program is also in line with the Group’s desire to contribute locally to Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 of the UN: quality education.
