BASIC PRINCIPLES
 
1.            Each movement member of the IMAC allows the children to be fully part of it ; to be the actors in various places which concern them : family, school, areas and to improve their conditions of life.
 
Thus, functioning according to the ages, it gives the opportunity to become real citizens. The movements members lean on the following pedagogy : To See, To Judge, to Act, to Revise and celebrate. The children participate in the defence of all their rights.
 
2. to realize this, the children are accompanied by young people and adults.
 
The IMAC allows the children to act to improve their conditions of life, to defend their rights, to be actors of their lives in their environment (area, family, school, work…). They are actors of the development doing actions for all the children. These actions pretend to allow those who live in difficult conditions to reach a situation of normal life. They work so that the international convention of the child’s rights could be applied for everyone.
 
Thus, thanks to its actions, and with the same pedagogical method, the IMAC allows the children :
 
To organize themselves.
 
To take into account the situations they live and their conditions of life.
 
To experience their points of view on what concern them.
 
To know their rights and their obligations.
 
To be actors of their own growth.
 
To participate in the building of a world of solidarity, Justice and Peace.
To live and act in coherence with their Faith.
 
To announce and be testimony of the Good News of Jesus Christ for the children and the adults who live around them.
 
To learn little by little the behaviour of tolerance, accepting the religious, cultural, ethnic differences… as a treasure.
