Mauritania There are about 15 ASPnet schools in Mauritania; most of these schools joined in order to promote peace, cultural awareness, and mutual respect.

 

It is considered a mark of prestige to be an ASP school. World and national heritage are key themes governing their work, and examples of activities include collecting traditional objects of art, and creating a museum. There has been media coverage of activities on TV and radio, including debates. These activities are well-integrated with the national curriculum, particularly within the study of history, languages and science. The national co-ordinator is keen to establish communications with other national networks in the region and internationally, but communications are not always easy. Similarly, resource constraints are a factor at the school and national level, but even so, much has been accomplished in promoting UNESCO quality ideals.
