These are some of our lines of action

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Daycare and elementary school (Children from nursery to the age of 12.)

In this stage it is important to develop self awareness, autonomy, social skills, psycho-motor skills, involvement and critical thinking. Allowing the collective construction of new concepts through new life experiences, from home to school and back to the community.

High school, daily morning and technical training in the afternoon (Boys and girls from ages 13 to 15.)

The teaching and learning process in this level is developed through the method of projects, a tool we've develped to fit our needs from The People's Education theories studied and transmitted by Paulo Freire in Brazil. Which contemplates a starting point, the cultural, ideological, political and social surroundings of the students, the dialogue of knowledge, collective construction of learning and social and community projection aiming towards the straightening of the student's autonomy.
