A nine-month skills-development programme run with eight teachers and fifty-six students from the Barda city community, with training-and-activation phases every three months to keep momentum.
The participating teachers attended a series of trainings on different life-skill areas, in order to strengthen both their teaching programmes and their classroom approach.
Throughout the second phase, students gained practical life skills — through the joint work of the project teachers and the participating teachers — alongside an intensive English-language curriculum.
The programme set out to improve research strategies and teaching methodology, raise students’ English-language ability, and build the trust of 64 members of the Barda community. By the end, six participating teachers and fifty-six students had carried that change back into their everyday lives.
