More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Forced displacement increases the risk of school dropout. Other actors emerge in the process for care and instruction. They need materials such as these learning guides, which can be used in any environment to promote individual and collaborative learning. The life skills help children to develop attitudes and habits that determine their identity, sense of belonging, participation, and basic concepts for living. This material benefits children and teachers who guide the learning process.

Activities

Design, develop and edit a kit of interactive guides comprised of 1 module per level (5 modules), integrated with all the life skills and designed for children aged 7 to 15. Groups of 3 children use each module for individual and collaborative work.

Potential Long Term Impact

A team of experts is formed in the different subject areas. A preliminary version is produced and later validated. The material is used in projects for displaced and receptor communities in disadvantaged urban areas.

Project Message

I will help stop the irreparable loss of human capital and enhance the recovery of self esteem of many of our children who are out of the school system due to the armed conflict.
