Resource Checklist

Time

6 months to complete the entire program. 2 hours per module.


Organize and contact the education team of Education for Sharing (E4S) to start the introduction and training in the program.


During this introductory meeting, the E4S team will share an institutional presentation that you can later use as a resource to present it to other participants as well as during the implementation with your students and students. The objective is that all participants completely understand the potential value of the program at school.

Once everyone is on board and excited about the idea, they will organize with the E4S team with respect to the date and time they would like to start online training and how they will carry out this process.


You and your team alongside E4S's team can work together through the comprehensive training materials that will allow you all to develop the knowledge and the necessary skills to replicate E4S's ludic methodology. 

The training comprehends synchronous activities (1 module every 2 weeks, 2 hours per module, 5 modules)

 


Implement E4S activities with your students

When you finish the E4S training you will now be able to replicate your acquired knowledge with your students by implementing the Initiatives for Sharing program.

Initiatives for Sharing's objective is to develop the democratic and responsible participation of children and youth through their empowerment as agents of change, interested in cooperating and contributing to the common good.

Children and young people can propose and carry out action proposals to solve local and global challenges; however, they do not always have the space, resources and/or sufficient support to carry them out.
Project management is of the utmost importance throughout student and work training, and the skills, knowledge, attitudes, aptitudes and values required for it should be stimulated from an early age. The generation of proposals and self-management of projects in the classroom is not the most used pedagogical strategy due to the complexity it represents in each of its stages
(design, planning, follow-up and evaluation).

Implementation includes: 4 ludic sessions (3 of I4S program and 1 of one program developed by the beneficiary)


The E4S team will provide close follow-up to the program's beneficiaries to support and ensure that the acquired knowledge during training is properly implemented. 

Follow-up will comprise 1 monthly session, 1 hour per session. 1 or 2 sessions. 


E4S and the program beneficiaries will gather to talk about the experiences throughout these 6 months, play some E4S flagship games and the team will deliver participation certificates. 

We encourage beneficiaries to take photos, videos, interview students, parents and the community about the implementation of the E4S program and share it with your network.
