WG Fundraising

MISSION
Our main objective is to raise funds to help finance school trips and other school projects. As a European School, we firmly believe that travel enriches our children's educational experience. We therefore strive to ensure that financial constraints are not an obstacle for them.

Funding sources :

  1. Projects: Sale of class photos, publications (yearbook, recipe books) and organized events (End of the Year Party, Winter Festival, Easy Wednesday).
  2. Membership
  3. External support: We are exploring partnerships with private sponsors and patrons although this initiative is still in its infancy.

Highlights

- PA Members: 270 families in 2023.

- Events: Three Easy Wednesdays per year, two cookbooks published and a yearbook since 2021.

- Contributions: 15000 euros for school outings this year, 8000 euros in 2022-23 and 1900 euros in 2021-22.
