THE GREAT MURAL OF THE ASRAMA
For this activity, the Crew suggests that all the pupils from the school do this mural together. Its aim will be to present the ASRAMA project to the Educational Community as a whole.
We will place a mural of 3 x 4 metres in the school’s most frequented place (the entrance or the Secretary’s Office). It will be divided in several sections: the project’s explanation, physical location and geographical context, demographical and cultural context, educational and religious context, Atambua, beneficiaries, the work project…
Each level will have to elaborate one of the different sections. In order to do so, the teachers will choose a mural for each grade and the rest will be used to decorate the establishment’s corridors or the classrooms. The chosen mural will be placed in its own section on the great mural.
