Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Need: The problem is not only a lack of good technique but also a lack of the right attitude and criteria. Grupo 55 considers human growth to be as important as professional growth. We aim to train people who can and will work in a team, who are willing to learn to listen and generate consensus, and who will teach and direct through suggestion and motivation. Beneficaries: Thousands of children, teachers, artists, parents, and NGOs.

Activities

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

To offer training, consultation, and didactic material to teachers, artistic groups, and persons linked to social, educational, and cultural activities. To sensitize children, teacher, and parents to various themes.

Project Message

I grew up in a country with a dictatorial government and without freedom to express feelings. As a result I strongly believe in the power of teamwork as well as theatre and games in art and education.
