Welcome (again) to Changemakers!
Have you noticed? Our site has a new look and with some great new features.
It has been designed with our community’s input and with our community in mind - to facilitate communication, connections and the sharing of ideas that we value so dearly.
One of the key new features for collaborating -- the Groups section -- has a space for the Changemakers staff to get your feedback and have a dialogue with you. In the Changemakers Group, we want to hear about how we are doing and what we can do in order to serve our community better, and keep you updated on exciting developments at Changemakers.
And we want to hear your stories of how Changemakers is helping you take the action you want to take and to forge partnerships with those you’ve met through our site. We know ideas are spreading rapidly around the site and change is happening thanks to you and the rest of our dynamic community. We want to celebrate the connections and successes that happen on the site. So please share them with us!
Let's start our conversation.

It's so exciting to see that within the first hour of the Changemakers new website launch, community members started created groups. The interest and thematic range also indicate that we're off to a great start and people are eager to connect, discuss and take on pressing issues. I look forward to many others coming on board and interacting with us and the global community of movers & shakers.
One, we create situations for teachers to discover by themselves what works best, for her or him and for her or his students, to deliver successfully the prescribed curriculum;
Two, we provide a range of validated, practical pedagogic methods and tools from which teachers can choose in their lesson planning and delivery and in their organization of broader education activities;
Three, we equip and encourage teachers to adapt these methods and tools to their particular circumstances and personal preferences;
Four, we make sure that there is adequate training and, especially, on-going support to equip and assist the teachers as they continue to choose, adapt and use the various methods to achieve the greatest results and to assess the actual degree of their achievement;
And five, we promote an environment of cooperation and collaboration whereby teachers seek solutions together to improve their individual and collective performance and the performance of their students, which requires the active complicity of their hierarchical superiors – the school director, the inspector and others.

It looks like you are trying to apply for one of our online competitions. Based on the content, I would assume that you are interested in our Champions of Quality Education competition. Unfortunately, the entry deadline for that competition has passed. But you should can include all of this information in your profile - be sure to include your interest in education so that we can let you know the next time there is a competition about education.
Best of luck-

Thank you for the recognition and encouragement.
Am on full fledged learning of the site with its tricks. After communicating to you I send them and it worked.
I may therefore not know why it was not accepting in the first place since the addresses were unchanged.
Cheers!
Angule
We are on the alert to work further with you.
