The Terre Plurielle foundation: the new projects to be supported in 2017

As Bouygues Construction’s corporate foundation, Terre Plurielle provides financial support to projects sponsored by employees who are actively involved in the areas of education, employment and healthcare Since it was first established in 2008, in excess of 200 projects have received support, sponsored by almost 250 employees.
The selection committee and board of directors of Terre Plurielle met together at the end of 2016 to nominate 14 projects to receive the support of the corporate foundation during 2017. We bring you details, images and video clips as we focus on four of the 14 projects selected:

Association ROBOTS:

This association seeks to raise awareness of robotics through education initiatives, conferences and training. It is currently developing two support programmes: Rob ‘Solidarity (providing support to people in need due to long-term illness, poverty, disability, social isolation) and Rob ‘Autism (designed for autistic children). The project involves financing the implementation of the Rob ‘Autism programme designed for autistic children aged 13-16. Terre Plurielle is contributing funding towards the purchase of the robots.
