Education must be seen as an environment that gives children and adolescents the opportunity to express themselves in projects that are connected to their realities, and that contributes to the formation of citizens capable of facing the world. This is what the Creative Schools Program believes in.
With financial management from Sitawi, the program aims to transform even more schools into engaging environments, with practical activities that use various tools including technological methods, such as computers and robotics kits, as well as non-technological methods, such as pencils, glue and cardboard.
Today, the program operates in 16 municipal and state education departments and covers more than 950 schools with its projects. Having benefited more than 334 thousand students, the program still expects to reach around 500 thousand students by the end of 2024. To achieve this goal, the Creative Schools Program works in partnership with public administrators, school leaders and teachers, mapping and promoting activities that transform the way subjects and skills in the curriculum are approached, contributing to the comprehensive education of students.
All participating educational networks receive the necessary support to develop the activities planned in the project. To this end, mentoring sessions and courses are held, examples of lesson plans and reference materials are shared, and more. In addition, the entire implementation of the project is measured through surveys with participating trainers and teachers.
The result of this collaboration is education professionals who are increasingly willing to implement the methodology in their classes, and exchanges between schools and departments to analyze the performance of the projects.
