Reunis sous la canopee 2023 Arbre 17 scaled - OneAction

First plantings for the Reunited under the canopy project

The year 2023 is ending on a happy note for OneAction: the autumn planting campaign for our Geneva-based project Reunited under the canopy went off without a hitch, despite the wet weather at the end of the season.

Maples, alders, hackberries, Chinese flame trees, spruces, stone pines, oaks, whitebeams, Japanese pagoda trees and honey locusts joined the Geneva canopy on private land this spring and autumn. Pottu & Seitz carried out the planting, which was funded half by the landowners and half by the City of Geneva.

We would like to thank our partners, the « Service des espaces verts » (SEVE) of the City of Geneva, Pottu & Seitz, Rosset Immobilier, Bory Immobilier and Fondation CAP Prévoyance for their participation in our tree planting project in the Canton of Geneva.

The project will continue in 2024 with, we hope, even more new young trees in urban areas!

OneAction at the World Youth Assembly

From 20 to 22 April 2022, the World Youth Assembly was held in collaboration with the United Nations and the University of Geneva. Several current environmental challenges were debated in order to develop solutions integrated in a Global Youth Charter, an action and advocacy tool that will be presented to the United Nations.

In this context, OneAction participated as an expert in the workshop on « Restoring ecosystems and preventing deforestation ». Alongside another WWF expert, OneAction was able to accompany the students in their reflection and confront the solutions envisaged with the various realities on the ground. This exchange was very rich and stimulating, and OneAction thanks the Geneva Youth Call for its invitation.

Un avenir des possibles 2021 Eleves 2 - OneAction

The English Medium School in Bodh Gaya finally opened!

Almost a year ago, we shared with you the inauguration of our English school in Bodh Gaya, India. Shortly afterwards, the school had to close its doors due to restrictions imposed by Covid-19. After many months of waiting, we are happy to announce that the school has finally been reopened! A total of 154 students are already enrolled, and our partner is receiving new admissions every day.

The school will now offer affordable, quality English-language education to children from low-income families. Eventually, it will also support the partner school Gyan Niketan, which offers free education to children from the lowest castes.
