About CEM KAMANAR

The motto of the construction project, which began in 2016 and was completed in 2020, was "Let's make a school", an expression that brings together the values of the project: building a school that would in turn serve as a school for the masons, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and other professionals involved in the project. "Faisons école" is a call for collaboration in one of the noblest causes on which humanism is founded: passing on and sharing knowledge, promoting values and educating in accordance with these values.

In June 2016, a prototype classroom was built, which served as a test for the sustainable design of the vaults of all the classrooms; in total, 21 single classrooms, a double room for the library and another for extracurricular activities were built, as well as toilets, changing rooms and another building for administrative use. The rooms in each classroom are built around the original location of a tree. The main material used to build the vaults came from the same land, and its extraction was used to create sports facilities for football, basketball and athletics, as well as a vegetable garden for the pupils. The whole complex is enclosed by a perimeter fence that demarcates the nearly 2 hectares of college grounds.
We had planned to tie up the loose ends and complete the work in spring 2020. Unfortunately, in mid-March, classes were interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The work had to be interrupted and the volunteers had to return home, which delayed the end of the project. In November 2020, we were able to resume work and complete the final details in the first half of 2021.
