Bearing. Alternative Education Workshop

We’ve been working for five months with 16 high school students in Barlad in order to identify and study subjects of local interest. It was a rewarding experience, at the end of which the attendees learned how to use research methods and techniques in order to understand the things that happen in the community they are a part of.

When the project was completed, during the week of extra-curricular activities (1st – 5th of april 2013) Vira presented the Bearing Project – Alternative Education Workshop. We have featured the films in the project and talked about them. The activities were attended by 250 students and it was a good opportunity to share the experiences we learned during the workshop, and develop new ways, with the input of the students, to get involved in the day to day life of the community.
