by schools

United by schools is a non-profit association founded in 2013 with the mission of promoting healthy and positive school climates and monitoring the respect of children’s rights in schools.

The association structures its work around six key areas: mapping the quality of school climates, proposing innovative solutions for better environments, creating standards for positive school climates, hosting associations with similar and complementary goals, alerting authorities when school climates are at risk, and raising public awareness about the need to build positive school environments.

United by schools has been accredited with special consultative status at the United Nations since 2017.

a parallel and
educational diplomacy

United by schools conducts its daily work through genuine educational diplomacy. Since its creation, the association has advocated for the voice of children, to be heard and considered, by local, national, regional, and international authorities.

From the very beginning, United by schools has consulted children and co-developed its programs with them, including the schools climates committee, the colorful playground, peer mediation, and human rights defense initiatives.

Since its foundation, the association has been behind significant advances, such as the creation of the national and international day against bullying at school, and the installation of student mediators in primary and secondary schools.

an association inheriting
twelve years of actions

At the origin of United by schools lies the testimony of Lenny Pamart, who shared his experience as a victim of school bullying at the age of 12 in a book published in 2012.

A year later, he founded the association with Avril Aillot and Aydan Kapisiz, with the primary goal of visiting local primary and secondary schools to talk about bullying.

Over the years, United by schools has become a reference in the field and has evolved to focus on the broader theme of school climates, adopting a systemic approach to education.

Since 2025, the association has been known as United by schools, following its previous names: Arrêt Demandé (2013–2015), Hope for education (2016–2020), and Campus Watch (2020–2025).
