MDG'15 - uitwisseling Senegal - Dag 5 en 6

Thursday and Friday we had a two-day-workshop with Senegalese teachers on how to work on MDG's in class and school.
We started Thursday with a discussion on the differences and similarities between both educational systems. After presenting the two partners involved (Studio Globo and le collectif de enseignant) Bieze shared the Studio Globo-vision with our Senegalese colleagues. He focussed on education on class-level: experimental learning, system-thinking, an authentic teacherstyle and values and emotions.

After the theory we worked in small groups on practical exercices. Using games for education, reflection-methods, lessons on climate change and five models to approach reality. We shared the experience build up in Belgium and invited the Senegalese teachers to engage in a discussion. This lead to a real exchange of ideas and visions. An enriching experience for both sides.

MDG'15 - uitwisseling Senegal - Dag 4

After the interesting study trips of yesterday, we focussed today on the activities in the schools. Despite of a nation wide strike our Senegalese colleagues were inventive enough to set up an interesting program. For our teachers Iris and Hannelore, it was their first contact with Senegalese students in a private school where there was no strike. › Lees meer

MDG'15 - uitwisseling Senegal - Dag 3

Yesterday we visited a lot of projects and stakeholders concerning MDG7 on sustainable development. Another day full of impressions and different views on such a difficult theme as developing in a sustainable way. We want to share one of those views with our readers, the cultural impact on development.

The first visit we did yesterday was on the collection of rubbish on the langue the barbarie the fishermen-island. The main stakeholder involved in that project was a private organisation. Those ‘entrepreneurs' to often stay under the radar if we are talking on development. What he said was extremely interesting, but too much to share on this blog.
