Youth Support Through innovative educational approaches we seek to establish a mentality that fosters intellectual growth and strengthened agency of disenfranchised youths. Through increasing the capabilities of local youths they in-turn can affect their communities on a larger-scale as future leaders and role models. Community Engagement As I Learn engages the most targeted members of the local communities, we fill a critical deficiency by providing personal agency through legal education, cultural enrichment, and entrepreneurship. Increased outreach and recruitment campaigns bring together participants with volunteer educators, role models, and our partners in a environment that allows them to affect their communities from within. Child Development By educating children in a creative and safe environment we encourage diversity and critical thinking that forms the foundation for their continued growth. We employ innovative educational approaches that includes art and digital knowledge, which supplements formal education and allows the children to reach their true potentials
A. Approach I Learn’s local initiatives are grounded in the needs of the local community. By consulting the community’s youth we are able to identify their specific needs and then to develop tailored steps to increase the capabilities of the communities to realize those needs. At the same time consulting the community help expand our outreach and build lasting networks. Our programs are especially tailored to the needs of the community, in particular for students that are at risk of or have lost faith in formal education as well as underachieving students. Our curriculums encourage self- learning and respects the student’s natural psychological and social development. A wide range of workshops beside informal educational techniques are employed outside the classroom to build valuable life skills such as communication, entrepreneurship, and critical thinking. These capabilities are then reinforced through recreational activities and youth-led collaborative projects that influence the wider community and increase the participants’ self-esteem. B. Components 1. Academic Support: Through our visitor volunteer program and with the help of local educators we supplement the formal education of the youths at secondary and higher-educational levels. Our curriculum is tailored to the youth’s’ specific needs and includes teaching subjects such as english, mathematics, and accounting. 2. Informal Education: Programs that employ informal teaching methods that include workshops and collaborative projects teach valuable life skills such as entrepreneurship, creative thinking, and other skills that aid the youth in their personal endeavors. The programs are an ongoing process that continuously reinforce and develop these crucial skills, which are also integrated into our other programs of academic support and community building. 3. Volunteerism : Mutual support between the partners and participants of I Learn foster knowledge sharing and the continued involvement of alumni of our youth programs as future role models and volunteers. This culture of supporting the community builds the foundation for the eventual creation of independent self-sustaining entities, whereby the central organization of I Learn assumes a mentorship role. CHILD DEVELOPMENT A. Approach The children of disenfranchised communities are often its most vulnerable members. One of our core principles are innovation, meaning that we employ teaching methods that nurtures self-esteem and creative self-learning that allow access to the basic rights that children should enjoy. With the help of volunteers and caregivers from the community, we are able to, through our informal education, form a safe and creative learning environment. Our methods include elements of teaching through art, recreational activities, and academic support. These methods influence the self-esteem and confidence in the value of education of our participants by showing that knowledge can indeed be reached by fun and creative means. Further meaningful life skills are also attained while greater psychosocial well-being is promoted within the safety of our learning environment. B. Components 1. Language through creativity: Our interactive teaching methods focus on teaching english through the use of art, dance, and music, among other things, that foster a fun and collaborative environment. Not only are the methods more effective but also values the inherent creativity of children while promoting psychosocial well being. 2. Programming: In a rapidly modernizing world, I Learn aim to fill the gap of formal education by teaching children the skills necessary to succeed in the future. In collaboration with our partners we offer digitalized courses that teach valuable skills within STEM subjects in a creative and innovative way. 3. Art: By bringing facilitators with artistic backgrounds through our Visitor Volunteer Program we are able to host workshops and projects that teach design and creative thinking. The workshops allow the children to express their emotions in a safe and responsible environment that promotes their mental and physical well-being.
