More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

In Mexico there are few chances for child participation. When children attempt to express their opinions, it is seen as a threat. This dynamic is reflected in the few centers for children participation that exist. Those that do exist, lack development of methods, techniques, and instruments to strengthen the educational process of teachers, educators, parents and NGOs. The beneficiaries will be the boys, girls, teenagers, educators and members of these organizations.

Activities
