DOSSIER ACTIVITIES FOR THE CLASSROOM
Below we present a series of examples of activities to work in the classroom (they can also be carried out during out-of-school times). Their objective is to present the importance of education both as an element of personal change and social transformation.
We have tried to make an appealing selection complementing the six principal activities of this campaign: “The ship of the Itaka-Escolapios Crew”, “The clues game”, “The great mural of the Asrama”, “ The Tweet-Telegram”, “The Tebe Dance Competition”, and “Together with Atambua”. On the other hand, you can also find all the activities related to the Solidarity Campaign in the EDUCA site from our webpage.
