Project Title: A small step, a great joy!

Changemaker:  David Harpa

Message for the world: Be active, be kind, love team-work!

1. Previous experience 

I did not organize previous activities but I learned about children rights in the social education class.  

2. The Problem 

The online classes we had lately due the Covid-19, are not very effective for learning, especially among the younger students. I have noticed that my brothers and colleagues are struggling to understand online courses. There are some children in my community who do not have good internet access or they don't have a good device to connect to online classes, therefore, because they don't go to school, their access to education is restricted.

3. The Solution 

My plan is to organize a non-formal educational program for 15 children aged 6 to 10 years. The lessons will be facilitated by me, with the support of my mother, who is a primary school teacher. The children will learn Romanian language and mathematics - the most difficult school topics, in a fun and active way, giving them space to play. During the learning activities, I will make sure that I follow the recommendations against the virus (disinfection, taking the temperature, washing hands, wearing a mask).

4. Beneficiaries: 

15 children 6 to 10 years old from Târgu Frumos town and villages.

5. Team:  

1 adults and 2 children will help me to organize the activities. 

6. Objective: 

The project objective is to support 15 children aged 6 to 10 years to improve their knowledge in mathematics and Romanian language by organizing a non-formal educational program consisting in 3 meetings.

7. Project duration:  

2 months (March-April 2021)
