Project Update: April 2011

The work team in conjunction with educational authorities and teachers from rural communities has elaborated the content of manuals of environmental education for schools. These manuals are based on the environmental issues identified by the people from communities, beside the proposed teaching methodologies are based on "learning by doing", using group dynamics to the participatory building of solutions. The proposed dynamics have been adapted to the language and cultural characteristics of the communities where they will be applied.

Thanks to the efforts taken with political and educational authorities, it has signed an agreement with the Educational District Directorate of the Quirusillas’ Municipality. This ensures the implementation of the manuals, to the programme of formal education in schools; it also establishes annual mechanisms of evaluation of the implementation’s level of the manuals by the teacher’s part.
