Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are promoting play in India:
Twelve-year-old Pinky Gupta whizzes past defenders during an all-girl soccer match in Mumbai, India, launching the ball toward her opponents' goal. Her face flush with excitement, she radiates a zest for tapping her power, especially since this new-found resolve extends beyond the soccer pitch, helping her burst the limitations imposed on her as a girl growing up in Mumbai's slums.

¿Hace cuánto que viene operando tu organización?
Operando entre 1-5 años
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
El problema central abordado es la deficiente educación artística y cultural en el AAHH San Pablo Mirador de Manchay. El desarrollo de las capacidades antes mencionadas les permite poder ser mejores seres humanos y personas, y desenvolverse mejor en la vida en general.
En los colegios públicos de Lima no se trabaja con la debida atención lo respectivo al arte, cultura y creatividad, al no contar con metodologías apropiadas ni con profesores especializados. Nuestro proyecto aborda dichas carencias y les brinda a niños de escasos recursos la posibilidad de acceder a profesores de calidad en las temáticas mencionadas.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
El proyecto tiene como propósito potenciar las capacidades artísticas, culturales y creativas de niños entre 3 y 18 años mediante la implementación de talleres culturales de teatro, música, creación literaria, fotografía, pintura, manualidades, música, video, e inglés. Sumado a esto se realizan muestras artísticas tanto en Manchay (la zona beneficiada) como en distritos céntricos de Lima, promoviéndose también un diálogo intercultural.
La promoción de la creatividad mediante el arte y la cultura es una solución que puede “abrirles el mundo” a los niños, de modo que estos tengan más capacidades para poder solucionar problemas en el presente, y dedicarse a las profesiones para las cuales tengan más aptitudes y hacia las cuales sientan más interés o afinidad en el futuro.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
En los colegios públicos de Manchay no hay clases de teatro, y si las hay, no cuentan con profesores que hayan estudiado teatro o actuación. Durante el 2011 se implementó el taller de teatro, notándose un incremento tanto en el autoestima como en la expresión corporal de niños entre 8 y 12 años. Se generó un vínculo positivo, y se les brindaron insumos útiles para la vida.
También contamos con un profesor de fotografía, que tiene en su historial exposiciones y trabajos para diferentes revistas y empresas, quien les dictó un taller de fotografía durante el 2011. Aparte de lo importante que fue generar capacidades relacionadas a dicho arte, fue interesante el proceso mediante el cual los niños se dieron cuenta de que efectivamente se puede vivir de la fotografía. Esto amplía su visión sobre lo que ellos pueden desarrollar en un futuro.
El taller de Kirigami es desarrollado por un profesor que trabaja muy bien métodos dinámicos y lúdicos para que los niños, mediante este arte, puedan fortalecer su autoestima y su creatividad.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Los competidores son los docentes que enseñan en los colegios públicos en Lima. Dada la realidad de la educación nacional no se avizora que en un mediano plazo los docentes de las temáticas artísticas puedan especializarse en las mismas y promover la creatividad de los niños mediante el arte, la cultura, y el juego.
Por otro lado, hay ONG que trabajan con talleres sabatinos y dominicales como nosotros, pero resaltamos sobre ellos por nuestra continuidad (vamos todos los fines de semana del año), y por nuestra propuesta integral, pues aparte de nuestro proyecto con niños, tenemos otro que promueve la ciudadanía y el arte en adolescentes, otro que empodera e incrementa el nivel de ingresos de las madres de familia, y otro que brinda atención psicológica a niños, jóvenes y madres y padres.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Más de 50 niños asisten todos los sábados del año, entre marzo y diciembre, y reciben clases dictadas por profesionales destacados y jóvenes de diversas temáticas artísticas y culturales, accediendo a una educación alternativa de calidad y de manera gratuita. Profesores con marcado compromiso social y empatía dictan los talleres , mediante una metodología lúdica y dinámica,con una aproximación integral.
Adicional a dicho impacto está el involucramiento de más de 30 voluntarios en el proyecto, que asisten los sábados y domingo a contribuir con su sociedad, y a generar un cambio social positivo
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Para el 2012 se estiman 60 niños beneficiados en Manchay, localidad anexa al distrito de Pachacamac, provincia de Lima. Para el 2013 se tiene proyectado incursionar en la provincia de Angaraes, departamento de Huancavelica, beneficiando a 40 niños más mediante la metodología Ruwasunchis. Para el 2014 se proyecta beneficiar al menos a 120 niños en estos dos departamentos, y evaluar la incursión al departamento de Cusco.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Las típicas barreras en los proyectos sociales, incluyendo los educativos, son el compromiso de los voluntarios y el financiamiento para la puesta en marcha de los proyectos. Para fortalecer el compromiso de los voluntarios se busca crear un lazo fuerte entre los mismos y las comunidades beneficiadas, con un adecuado plan de capacitaciones que potencie las capacidades de los voluntarios.
Para las trabas de financiamiento, la ONG cuenta con una estrategia de Fundraising que involucra a empresas, cooperación técnica internacional y generación de recursos propios. Hay un equipo de voluntarios que promueve la recaudación de fondos por estas tres fuentes.

Hace 7 años visité por primera vez el asentamiento humano San Pablo, buscando un lugar pobre que necesite apoyo. Conocí a la profesora del local de educación inicial del Asentamiento y me dio su apoyo para que conozca a los niños. Empecé sin saber bien qué era lo que iba a poder ofrecer, por lo cual organicé una colecta con regalos para los mismos, y celebramos la navidad. Luego se unieron buenos amigos y amigas, gradualmente, y empezamos a darles clases de pintura, lectura y fútbol todos los jueves y sábados.
Desde hace tres años, nos juntamos cinco socios y decidimos formar la ONG Ruwasunchis, y poder ayudar mejor a los niños, jóvenes y señoras de zonas en condiciones de pobreza. Empezamos así a planear diversos proyectos de desarrollo, al mismo tiempo que ya implementábamos el proyecto Plataforma Cultural, que ha ido mejorando su metodología e impacto con el correr de los años. Actualmente implementamos 4 proyectos de desarrollo en Manchay, y tenemos más de 50 voluntarios.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
As Paul Gilbert writes in his book ‘The Compassionate Mind’ Western societies tend to under-develop the emotional regulation system that empathy stems from. He identifies 3 such systems:
1) threat and self-protection system: linked to anxiety and anger
2) incentive and resource-seeking system: linked to drive and excitement
3) soothing and contentment system: linked to feeling of safeness, reassurance, security, calm peacefulness
Secure nurturing relationships are critical for the development of the soothing system. Compassion and empathy tend to be underdeveloped due to these societal conditions:
1)Parents spend less time with children because of longer working hours, 2)Higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression among parents,
3)Technological distractions
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our solution is to create an 8-week program that will teach mindfulness and self-compassion (SC), both of which have shown to be effective in developing the 'soothing' system.
Research has demonstrated mindfulness training can develop empathy, self-regulation, and self-compassion, and that mindfulness can be taught to children. Since children tend to get bored with longer periods of meditation, we decided to combine it with teaching self-compassion separately.
We will combine the best of a very engaging program developed by Mindfulness for Schools program and the compassion for children approach developed by Mind with Heart. Outcomes will be measured, the results published using our high profile platform and more funding will be attracted to make the program sustainable.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The proposed 8-week program is still to be developed but will be modelled on exisiting mindfulness in schools programmes.Mindfulness in Schools Programs are taught in a number of countries and have been shown to be effective and engaging. It includes eight sessions lasting up to an hour and home practice. They are taught the theory in a very accessible way that uses games, familiar characters from films and cartoons. Children also meditate for up to 20 minutes per session.
Mindfulness and self-compassion foster not only empathy but also other psychological aspects that support empathy: self-regulation, ego-resilience, attention, locus of control, well-being. They also reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.
We agree with Kristin Neff that self-compassion is a good alternative to self-esteem. Among other things self-esteem (Baumeister, 2003 ) has also been found to be associated with narcissism, sometimes aggression and in-group favouritism. No negative side effects of self-compassion have been found. In fact, self-compassion has been found to be negatively correlated with submissiveness and positively correlated with empathic perspective taking (Birnie et al., 2009). Since SC includes an element of common humanity, we believe that SC allows children to be kind to themselves and to feel connected to others at the same time. Unlike self-esteem, self-compassion allows regaining a sense of worth on the grounds of connectedness and cooperation, not on competition. This it makes it very good for developing empathy.

Empathy in schools in the UK is nascent, so we don’t see competition as an important issue. The only competing program we're aware of is 'The Roots of Empathy'. It started being taught in the UK a few years ago. This program is well-established and has a strong track record in other countries but is only emerging in the UK.
What makes the RSA approach different is that mindfulness and self-compassion training improves not only empathy but also emotional development more generally including awareness of one’s own emotions, managing them, awareness of emotions of others. Our approach addresses a wider set of faculties of EI.
Another unique aspect is that this program will teach tools that they will learn to continue working with on their own; mindful self-compassion requires practice.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The solutions have not been implemented yet, but research from the Mindfulness in Schools Project shows that the program has increased students’ self-awareness, self-regulation, self-efficacy and self-determination. It has also increased their well-being, resilience and mindfulness. As it is expected with continued mindfulness practice, effects after 6 months were stronger than immediate effects (Hennelly, 2010).
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We are planning to run a successful pilot study and use Dream Life Skills Assessment Tool to measure results. Then using relative high profile in the UK we are planning to attract additional funding and get more schools involved with the program. We are planning to get a 50 teachers trained to run the programs in the next 3 years.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
We see two main barriers: aversion to feelings of compassion and funding.
Some people feel averse to feelings of compassion because of two main reasons:
1)Feeling empathy can make them weak or make them vulnerable to others who do not have their interests at heart.
2) It reminds some of a lack of nurturing relationships in their childhood
We will use RSA's excellent public profile to dispel such fears through our written outputs(e.g. on popular blogs, or in related events).
Funding, especially in the time of austerity in UK is a further challenge for issues that appear non-central. We plan to use our relatively high profile, partnerships with schools and foundations to seek further funding, and will liase with RSA Fellows to seek out catalyst funding too.

I had my own aha moment when reading about the Dalai Lama hearing about problems relating to self-esteem for the first time. He had never heard of such a thing! It occurred to me that I am happiest and most productive when at ease with myself, and kind to myself. Such an experience connects you more deeply to the needs of others and makes you more available. It also occurred to me that in the West being self-compassionate is not as prominent a cultural feature as it could be, and that this probably needs to be emphasized more in how we teach mindfulness,
Also, since children cannot meditate as long as adults, it became very clear to me that SC needs to be taught not only through meditation but more generally. Then I got in touch with those teaching mindfulness and SC to children and decided to create a structured programme at scale.

Given the nature of the idea, it will need some trusted figures to support it, and help allay the concern that it is too esoteric or marginal. We believe it is centrally important for childhood development but need effective 'messengers' to get that case across.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
As a result of history and tradition, schools in Vietnam follow the “banking model” of education, in which students are described as empty, passive containers which educators, the active subjects, deposit knowledge into. Students suffer and adapt to a suffocating curriculum, a habit of robotically learning by repetition unconsidered facts from textbooks to pass many exams, and an atmosphere that focuses on encouraging competition among students. This model not only prevents students from pursuing and enjoying knowledge in a proper manner, but also fails to enable them to understand themselves, to be expressive, to relate to their community, and to link the knowledge they have been taught to the real life, which are all very essential to developing empathy.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In order to activate empathy teaching in schools, we will train the teachers to adopt our art-based methods.
Our art-based methods have been proven to be effective in supporting individual development in many ways, including teaching empathy. We use exercises from various types of art (devised theatre, contemporary dance, painting, etc.) as materials to produce interactive activities that stimulate participants’ creativity, imagination and abilities to communicate with the others. Being expressive and empathetic will naturally emerge as a requirement for the participants to complete the activities (please watch the attached video).
We will hold a 6-month program to train teachers to integrate our methods into their pedagogy, thus creating a schooling environment that nourishes empathy. Teachers will directly experience the activities, and together will discuss, develop the theoretical core and possible usages of our art-based methods so that they can fit in the schooling environment.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Raising empathy in a community: KOTO Vietnam is a project that aims to equip professional skills in hospitality for street children in Vietnam. Since the children come from very different backgrounds and have very diverse perspectives, they may not communicate with each other well. The class 17 happened to be the worst case, in which children even bore grudge against each other. KOTO invited Life Art to conduct a program to help solve the problem. Through the art-based, interactive and playful activities, the children became more open to share their personal histories and difficulties to communicate with the class, thus gradually making them more willing to explore, understand and accept others. After the workshop, the class 17 became a close-knit community, where all could relate to each other in a natural, easy manner.
Training teachers to adopt Life Art’s methods in school: TOT was a 6-month project that created an opportunity for teachers to understand Life Art’s methods and practice integrating Life Art’s methods into their own teaching methods. The participants experienced and discussed the usage and effectiveness of our methods, as well as learnt about Paulo Freire’s theories – the foundation of our methods. At the end of the project, a group of participants initiated a project that helped 12 sub-urban children be more expressive and empathetic. A participant, who is the dean of the Critical Thinking department at the Foreign Language University, also selectively incorporated some of our methods into the university’s curriculum.

In Vietnam, there are many other centers that also provide communication skills, but they differentiate from us in two main points. First, those centers only focus on adults, who are claimed to need soft skills to succeed in their jobs, while we don't limit our methods to any particular age. Second, they follow the traditional theory-based, teacher-led method of teaching to inform participants the steps to achieve a particular skill, while we focus on the experiencing process and give room for participants to interpret and build their own lessons.
Those centers hardly pose any challenge to our project, since their target is not children or school. We actually hope that after observing the effectiveness of our methods, those centers can adopt and help popularize our methods.

3-year impacts assessment:
1. Intensive training of trainers in Facilitating Development through Arts (50 sessions, 150 hrs): 60 participants, 18 100% scholarships. Trainees from those courses have applied what they learnt in their workplace, schools, and projects.
2. Public Workshops: 30 workshops, 450 participants - adults and children. We create a safe setting for individuals to develop creativity and critical thinking - to experiment themselves. We also provide 45 scholarships for selected scholars from difficult circumstances.
4. Me project: A project with The Will to Live Center, working with 25 disabled young people. We organized art-based activities to support their self-worth pursuit, and sharing/learning process. The project attracted considerable attention from the media.
5. Creating Art For Development Net-Work: 40 practical sharing sessions with 40 topics, 70 regular participants.
6. Training on Radical Pedagogy for 50 school head-masters in Hanoi.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
After the 6-month program, there will be 20 teachers who can professionally adopt our methods and around 800 students who directly benefit from their teachers' innovation in teaching method. After 1 year, we expect that 200 teachers will understand and be able to integrate our methods into their teaching, and 8000 students will start to benefit from our methods. We expect that needs will arise, and we will organize more similar programs upon requests. Also, this project will capture the media's interest, thus making art-based methods more familiar to the majority of people and changing their traditional "banking model" perspective on education. Only when many people are aware of the necessity and effectiveness of our methods, a real education reform can take place in a large scale.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
First, our art-based method seems very easy to adopt, so there's a high chance that many other teachers will try to copy without understanding the theoretical core, thus creating failed results and wrong interpretation of our method. However, in Vietnam, since our facilitators are all professionally trained in this field, each of our workshop's effectiveness will be ensured. People will soon realize the difference in term of effectiveness and seek to understand our method's core.
Second, our method is unfamiliar to most people, so it takes time for both teachers and education administrators to accept our method. Again, we hope that the method's testified effectiveness in addressing the most abstract problems (raising empathy, for example) will make people understand and follow the method.

I studied Psychology, Sociology and Economics in India. I then came to know a project that used media and theatre for development, which interested me a lot because I always wanted to do something artistic and creative, while still doing work related to Psychology. I decided to apply and won a scholarship to go to University of Winchester to study Media and Theatre as Development. When I came back to Vietnam, I realized that this method for development was very effective; it could be applied to support people to develop their most abstract abilities, regardless of their ages, backgrounds or social conditions. Usually when people are playing and being creative, they are more comfortable to see themselves, approach their own problems and relate to the others. I decided that I would use this method to help improve Vietnam's education system - to create a learning space that is more empathetic, creative and encouraging. That is the reason why I founded Life Art.

The lack of opportunities and possibilities of children/pupils to realise that there are several sides, stages, levels, layers of any action, play, situation, interaction, communication. The lack of opportunities of children/teachers/parents to practice, express, show, share, learn empathy, and through the play find out and tackle possible unspoken problems. The lack of awareness that anyone can join, affect, make a change. The wrong perceptions of equality of certain roles. The common single view and self-focused empathy.
The lack of time and accessible tools at schools and families to work on the above mentioned daily, to include it in their lives.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Use a simple tool, a model of “Empatheatre” in classes to:
• activate empathy through play.
• help children to realise that life situations are like a theatre. (There is audience, imagi(nation) on the curtain, action on the stage, hidden backstage that affects the action on the stage and represents the past of characters, various unknown conditions, different experience.
• raise awareness of several sides, stages, levels, layers of actions, plays, situations, interactions, communication.
• realise roles, abilities, possibilities of involved people to contribute, influence, solve any action.
• realise the stage is open, anyone can join, contribute, make a change in the play.
• motivate children/teachers/parents to practice, express, show, share, learn empathy through various situations/issues.
• experience and see oneself in the mirror
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The model of Empatheatre can be a permanent “equipment” of every class, used for explaining various issues in school subjects, and for showing everyday life situations, communication models, conflict solutions to children. Teachers can use it as a bridge towards open, honest communication and relations with pupils by playing with them on the same equal stage.
EXAMPLE 1: Using in history classes, to explain events deeply, from different perspectives, to learn not to judge the image or action only, but to try to understand the reasons and consequences. In maths, to see the practical usage of knowledge. In literature, to uncover deeper hidden meaning of texts, metaphors. In general, visually show the importance of practicing and learning (behind the stage) for the actual action on the stage.
EXAMPLE 2: When teachers notice unspoken conflict or hidden problems among the children, they can introduce a play, invite pupils to join, and to find out the core and background. They can encourage pupils to express honestly, motivate them to perceive the backstage and its influence. They can raise their awareness of importance of all involved people and roles, motivate them not to be passive audience, but active, fair, emphatic players.

This tool is easy to be hand-made, and very accessible, understandable, intuitive, and no knowledge or specific skills are necessary for using it. Simple guidelines and basic measurements will be available online for free. The promotion will run aside of the commercial market, mostly online, or with help of NGOs and schools. It is therefore the product does not really have competitors.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
None so far, it is in the idea phase.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
After spreading the idea and tool across schools and leisure centres, I hope it will have not measurable, but deep and long-lasting impact on all people who experience the Empatheatre. Thanks to its simplicity and accessibility, I believe it could become a common part of equipment of classes, groups and families, and a common way of perceiving, thinking, feeling and acting.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The only barrier would be the lack of time and means to develop the idea, finalise the tool, prepare accurate methodology, spread and promote it properly and intensively. However, I will do my best, and will try to agree with a partner organisation (Centre for Civic Education, Institute for Environmental Education, Fair Trade Centre, Leisure centres, etc.) to take it under their wings and include it among their activities.

El trabajo con fichas colaborativas
¿Qué son?
Las fichas colaborativas son formularios que organizan la descripción de un tema determinado. Todos los temas incluidos en Atlas refieren a aspectos culturales que representan la diversidad en que vivimos (leyendas, paisajes, festejos, recetas, fauna, danzas, artesanías, variantes lingüísticas, etc.). Existen 25 temas, también llamados “tipologías” para elegir. Las fichas admiten la incorporación de archivos adjuntos (imágenes, audio, video, textos) y pueden geolocalizarse. Deben ser aprobadas por el equipo Atlas para hacerse públicas.
¿Cómo se hacen?
Se propone a los alumnos, organizados en clases, la realización de un proceso de investigación (puede ser muy acotado o en profundidad) sobre algún aspecto particular de su entorno próximo. Los resultados se publican en el Atlas completando la ficha temática y adjuntando todo otro material producido (imágenes, videos, presentaciones, textos). Al comienzo o al final de la tarea se puede consultar las más de 1500 fichas realizadas por otros alumnos.
¿Para qué?
Para abordar un tema curricular que abarque aspectos culturales- en su sentido más amplio- del entorno próximo; para compartir con los miembros de Atlas, la comunidad escolar y público en general las particularidades de nuestro entorno; para conocer otras culturas a partir de las descripciones realizadas por estudiantes.

There are way too many violent video games that are reaching young and impressionable minds. These extremely violent scenarios inside current video games are devoid of any social consequences and thus promote negative, anti-social behavior. How can parents and teachers interject mindful, rational, empathic thought processes when they are competing with immersive video games that are training children to behave negatively?
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We are building a technology platform for compassion, altruism and empathy using game mechanics to provide engaging and approachable means to increase and reward pro-social behaviors. Our designs are based on proven clinically applied affective neuroscience research from major universities around the world, where we are translating functional MRI and neuro-plasticity data into social game structures.

WishesWell is a magical world where positive words and thoughts matter, and where wishes and gratitude statements bring families together to celebrate each others dreams and aspirations. Individuals can make wishes and express gratitude into a beautiful and tranquil setting that grows with energy and inspiration with each statement being launched into the fountain. The words are permanently etched into coins and sent on their way into the water, where friends, family, teachers and others can add energy and comments to help these wishes come true. People can view others public statements and by adding energy to each one, they also increase their energy and points in the system. The outcome of course is increased empathy, awareness and appreciation for the thoughts, values and dreams of those around us.

There is an ocean of video game companies and titles on the market that use violence and inappropriate behaviors to create an edge within the 'tween' market place. There are a few companies now coming out with pro-social titles, but the two most current, Mindbloom and Social Chocolate are focused primarily on older demographics, associating themselves with insurance companies for improving worker emotional behavior. We believe the need is pressing for pre-teen kids who we know are the primary influencers of even younger children to apply these imperative pro-social skills at a much younger age.

Our software is still in private beta and we are currently developing it for more accessible platforms (iOS, Android, Mango). However, our initial testing has been very successful in captivating the interest of the 'tween' marketplace.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We project with the right development path and key partnerships that we will be able to attract and retain 1 million active monthly players, generating a wonderful repository of positive and empathic data that can be returned to our university partners. Most of all, we project that active players will discover an increased sense of compassion, altruism and empathy, providing an excellent basis for understanding the very real benefits for pro-social behavior. Compassion and empathy are muscles that need to be regularly exercised, making this fun and appealing is our goal and hopeful impact.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
There is a lot of noise in the gaming area for games and apps that compete for attention. We believe that we are on the right path for differentiating ourselves with our university partnerships, with our focus on family and pre-teen youth, and creating titles that offer long-lasting benefits that can be tracked by individual players. The key to social curves and gaining popularity is not an easy or overnight success story, but rather with tenacity and hard work, we will reach the right impression makers who will help guide our titles to wide adoption and success. We also know that we will never give up on this project because of its absolute importance to the future of our children and to having a better world for all of us.

My wife and I are Co-founders of WishesWell. In the year prior to starting the company we had tried unsuccessfully to conceive our first child. As part of a way to reduce stress and discover a simpler path to happiness, we began to meditate and do research on ways to discover greater inner peace. As we gently unfolded the delicate layers of the way our mind works, we had an epiphany to create a tranquil world where wishes and gratitude statements could be made and celebrated. During the course of our research and development of WishesWell, we conceived and bore our baby son Louie, proving to us that wishes do come true, especially when you have kindness and compassion as your guide!

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The need to develop the skills of understanding: acceptance, communication and positive risk-taking. To teach young people, with or without barriers, the unique tools of improvisation, which are essential to adapting to a changing world.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Train the skill of empathy and peer-mentorship through energetic, hilarious, trust and creativity exercises. Focus on acceptance of all ideas (even our own!), and reducing the judgment that stifles creativity. Develop and perform realistic scenes, with improvised dialogue, about student-identified concerns; students will role-play multiple resolutions to the concern, and role-play multiple perspectives on issues. Give students opportunities to perform for students of other schools, and allow even more students perspectives to have their moment of success on stage.By standing in the place of their peers, students assume each other's perspectives. Using the skills of improvisational theatre, students create live dialogue and defend the decisions of their assumed character with honesty and conviction. The audience applauds their efforts; peers applaud each others' courage. We must be able to face the unknown with competence and confidence, that is the skill we teach our students.

Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities. In 2010, Super Project Lab partnered with the Hillcrest Academy for Boys, a detention center part of the Oregon Youth Authority. SPL began teaching weekly improv classes to teenage criminal offenders who were being held in this facility as part of their intake department. These students were at the very beginning of their imprisonment sentences. After four classes (45 min/week), SPL showed post-study results of 70% and higher of students “Strongly Agreeing,” that they felt were able to, “Suspend judgment of myself and others.” Class content had been designed to promote group-sharing, agreement, and play.

There are many organizations in our area that use different methodologies from theater to writing to visual arts to address the needs of at-risk youth. It’s our approach that differentiates us. Instead of using art as a form of expression, we use Improv Theater to teach practical pro-social skills. Improv isn’t a metaphor for life, it is life. None of us start off our day with a script in hand. We must be able to face the unknown with competence and confidence, that is the skill we teach our students.

During our first student performance in 2010, 15 youth at various levels of homelessness and developmental barriers performed as an ensemble in front of a public audience. These students had been rehearsing with Super Project Lab, two hours a week for eight weeks. Despite the egoism and defence mechanisms that are crucial to living a homeless life, and despite the tendencies toward conflict commonplace among this population, these students came together to succeed as an ensemble. These students displayed selflessness, positivity, acceptance and creativity. Together, guided by Super Project Lab, these students improvised entertaining and heartfelt theatre. The sense of community was palpable as cheers and high-fives were in abundance after their success. In a post-show survey, one of the performers thanked Super Project Lab, because now he knew how to communicate without his fists.

BULLYING.
Research carried out by the Anti-Bullying Centre, Trinity College, Dublin, found that 30% of students reported that they had been bullied in the previous 12 months. In addition, almost 25% of students reported that they had taken part in the bullying of others at school.
Young people are suffering needlessly, early intervention can prevent the problem from escalating. The National Office for Suicide Prevention has shown that Ireland has the fifth highest rate of youth suicide in Europe. In Ireland more people die as a result of suicide than through road accidents. Conservative estimates suggest that one in every five youth suicides is related to bullying.
TCD’s Prof Kevin Malone, Suicide in Ireland “there was an over-representation of people who have been bullied”
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Through Sticks & Stones I have created a multifaceted Anti-bullying Programme. The whole school community must address bullying if it is to be adequately tackled.
In workshops with children and young people I use a carefully designed combination of drama games, role-play and Forum Theatre. Through a highly focused, sensitive and creative process of play we explore the issues. It is intensive and participative, yet highly enjoyable.
Teachers receive Training Workshops, and I work with parents through my Talks & Workshops.
At the heart of what I do is drama and roleplay; powerful tools that encourage empathy, when empathy goes up, aggression goes down. The programme helps children to see their class as a group - one that is only as happy as the unhappiest person in it.
Post workshop students engage in a personal “contract for change” an action based programme that spans a number of weeks. It empowers them to be change agents in their class
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Sticks & Stones is a bespoke school programme: Following an assessment of the school & its anti-bullying policy, plus interviews with individual class teachers/tutors the class-based programme is tailored to meet the specific needs of the class.
Our team of skilled facilitators work with students in a highly focused, sensitive and creative process of exploration. Using a carefully designed combination of collaborative play, drama games, role-play and Forum Theatre a facilitator will guide the student group through an in-depth exploration of the issues.
it gives children three things:
• the ability to recognise bullying,
• the confidence to challenge it,
• and the skills to deal with it.
Our approach is not to attribute blame to individuals, but to look at each class holistically and to examine the group dynamics at play.
Learning can be fun, and often our workshops are the first time the whole class have played together. We give the class a chance to define bullying and measure their actions against that. Role-play allows them to act out alternatives in a safe environment, it holds a mirror up to the class and their behaviour. By fostering a culture of empathy in the class the “silent majority” are encouraged to examine their own role; my approach encourages children to see that bullying is a problem for the whole class, empowers then to realise that they can solve it, and equips them with the tools to change it.

Many approaches to bullying are about stopping/containing/punishing the bully and there are a number of stand-alone initiatives, which focus on one or other of the groups i.e. students or teachers.
Sticks & Stones’ approach differs because it engages the whole-school community through our class based programme, our teacher training, & workshops for families. We work with a model of restorative justice, looking at each class holistically & examining the group dynamics at play. My approach innovatively utilises creative methods to have a transformational effect on children. Storytelling is at the heart of our culture; children respond positively to the opportunity to tell their own stories, but they don’t always have the vocabulary, through drama and play they can show what’s happening.

A lack of stakeholder engagement. Independent evaluation of my anti-bullying programme will strengthen our case, proving the efficacy of the programme.
A lack of time and resources will prevent me from scaling and growing the project. I am working with some supporters to examine how we might best raise funds which would free me from service delivery and ensure the planned expansion the programme takes place.
A lack of will from the Government to properly address the issue of bullying. I am part of the newly formed National Anti-bullying Coalition, a group of individuals, NGOs etc. lobbying Government for action on the issue of bullying.

Aged 10 I was bullied by my 5th class teacher to the point of having a panic attack, I know from first hand experience, both as a child and a young person the gut churning, paralysing fear that bullying can evoke. If a child spends their days in fear, dreading the bell ringing and having to face the battleground that is the locker area, the bathroom, or the yard then all else is for nowt.
The very first time a boy put his hand up at the end of a workshop to say sorry to a classmate "I didn't realise I was bullying you" I knew I'd got it right. I've lost count of the times that's happened since.
Sticks & Stones' tagline is "helping children to live happier lives", and that's because HAPPY is the word I hear most often after the programme - "my son was happy going to school for the first time in months"; "I picked my daughter up from school today and it was the first time we didn't discuss the bullying - she was happy"; "I'm happier coming into school now", "I feel happy now"

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Children’s experience of school is characterized by physical and psychological violence as a result of fearful learning environment, poor teachers and unaccountable administration. This means a large number of children drop out of school or fail to learn at school. Many do not have the opportunity to discover their potential and most do not emerge with any measure of confidence in their ability make a meaningful contribution to their community.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Schools need a practical process that helps them reflect on the current state of their school and how they could create a better school. The Good School Toolkit is such a process. It is a six step practical process that involves students, teachers and the administration in articulating how together they could create a better school: one that is fulfilling, rejects violence, embraces creativity, and responds to the needs of all of its stakeholders. The Toolkit is packed with practical ideas, a library of colorful and creative learning materials and tools that can help the school actualize its vision. The Toolkit is currently being used in almost 500 schools and the methodology is undergoing a trial to test its effectiveness.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
• The school administration, in the guise of directors, head teachers, management committees or senior teachers must experience dissatisfaction with the status quo and feel motivation to do something about it.
• They must grasp that good schools are created and do not happen by chance. This is the point at which the school will reach out to Raising Voices or one of its partners for assistance.
• Although the initial leadership is the responsibility of the leaders at the school, the ideas must be embraced by a wide range of stakeholders including students, teachers, parents and community members.
• To sustain this change, the school must engage in a process of reflection and learning about how to create a good school. The Good School Toolkit accompanies them through such a process.
• On a day to day basis the process is led by 3 separate committees: Students, Teachers and Community Members. These three committees work with each other as well as individually to create a school wide learning process.
• Through the practical use of the Toolkit, the committees translate ideas into systematic, rigorous and consistent actions that give rise to operational mechanisms, policies and standards at the school.

The Good School Toolkit is one of a kind, and we do not have any direct competition in Uganda. We do have government ministries, educators, parents and community members whom we must convince to get on board. We welcome this challenge and have successfully created community wide excitement about implementing the Toolkit through intensive mobilization processes. We work with a variety of peers in the field of education and violence against children including Plan International, Twaweza, and the Ministry of Education and Sports. While collaboration requires diligence, compromise and mutual understanding which can be challenging to navigate, we believe that our holistic approach to a new education system in Uganda can only go to scale through successful partnering.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Almost 500 schools in Uganda are currently using the Good School Toolkit to create better schools in their communities. Teachers and students have described the Toolkit as “very useful” and “full of wonder-working activities.” Schools have cited tremendous growth in development of teaching methods, safety of physical environments, and productive learning communities. The Ministry of Education and Sports has supported the use of the Good School Toolkit and the number of schools in Uganda asking to use the Toolkit continues growing.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
As the Good School Program goes to scale, we expect over 1,000 schools to have access to the Good School Toolkit or significant learning materials there within. We hope to take the Good School Toolkit beyond Uganda into Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda and have already laid the groundwork for such expansion through partnerships in the region.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Raising Voices is a small organization with a limited number of highly skilled staff. The organization does not have offices in the Region and therefore may face difficulty in providing trainings and technical support to all of the schools implementing the Toolkit. We work to mitigate this by partnering with other organizations throughout the region whom we have trained to support the program in schools. We are also exploring the possibility of translating the Toolkit into Swahili, as East Africa has diverse languages and the Toolkit could be accessed and used more effectively if a Swahili version was available.

While collecting children’s stories about the violence they experience, the same concept continued to emerge. Children told us that beyond the moment of experiencing violence, a stronger feeling lingered inside. A feeling of anxiety and fear. It is not when my teacher canes me, they said, but the environment of fear in my classroom and the threat of my teacher inside me, that hurts me most. This realization, in conjunction with our research indicating 65% of children in Uganda experience violence at school regularly, left no question in our minds and hearts that we must do better. While there are many factors contributing to violence against children in Uganda, we believe a failure of our own imaginations has led to a poor education system. When we encouraged children and ourselves to go beyond the reality that exists today to imagine a brighter future, we envisioned many of the ideas that underlie the Good School Toolkit today.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The problem as we see it is a depleting sense of social consciousness. This is perhaps linked to the lessened awareness of the self and its relationships to the world. The most apparent manifestation is an inability to connect to, let alone do anything about, the issues that affect us. To give you a few examples - the growing levels of intolerance, rampant and unapologetic corruption, an archaic system of education. Very little is being done at school levels to emphasise the value and need of connecting the self to society.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The arts. The premise is simple: If I feel strongly enough about anything then I will do something about it. The arts nurture and foster the ability to ‘feel’ and ‘do’. The ways forward would be a multi-pronged and sustained approach that combines performances, workshops, tours, and public forums to trigger dialogue on the issue of social consciousness. The process-design has to have a spiraling form with the child at the vortex and moving out to include other stakeholders, such as teachers, parents, and related organisations.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
In 2005 rafiki mounted a programme titled Towards Making Rainbows, which focuses on accepting and respecting difference. The programme was initially supported by The Ford Foundation (New Delhi) for two years after which it has run on its own steam to date. Comprising of performances and workshops based on Boal’s Forum Theatre, the programme has journeyed over 30 schools (both private and public). Work has begun to up-scale our work into public spaces such as parks, which helps us connect with more diverse audiences. Even as you read this, work is on to travel into schools of Bangalore with our new performance pertaining to issues of friendship, and negotiating through differences.
There are two major areas of impact –
1. The opening of fresh spaces wherein the child can share feelings and dialogue can flourish.
2. The laying of a foundation for the engagement with issues that are not usually addressed in academic courses, diversity – for example.

The government recently fixed the Teacher-Pupil ratio in government run schools at 1:70 – so the challenges to success and growth can only be imagined. Work goes on. Scores of theatre teachers are engaged in various activities across various schools and institutions in the state of Karnataka. And none of us know exactly what we are working on or towards. The greatest challenge, perhaps, is to re-vision the ‘marketplace’ and create structures that facilitate a sharing of work and foster partnerships. For instance, will the Ashoka Foundation be willing to consider dividing the prize money with the top five ideas that emerge, and with a rider that a part of the funds should be used to actively seek out and forge local and global partnerships.

We have worked with over 4000 children over seven years. Through this time we have managed to create processes that are driven by the child and not so much our own desire to change the world. Our work has made the arts accessible to each child regardless of backgrounds and notions of abilities.

- Availability of facilitators willing to commit time and energy to the work.

- A mindset that perceives theatre as an extracurricular activity.
Along with post performance discussions with our audiences, we intend to run a parallel advocacy programme through the digital and print media.

"We want to meet Makar (the King crocodile) and he must sign an agreement that he will not be the King anymore and all of us must also sign an agreement that every year there will be new king from each community".
An idea from a group of 9 to 13 year old boys, housed in the Government Home for Juveniles (Boys) in Bangalore. The response was to our forum piece about a forest of reptiles ruled by a large crocodile (Makar). Through the course of the performance, audience members too take on the roles of other reptiles (lizards, snakes, etc). The king, to secure the forest for his own kind evicts the other reptiles one after the other. Soon the balance of life in the forest is disrupted and the king calls the other reptiles back. At this point that the forum would begin.
We were given all kinds of warnings about how the children may react because of their violent backgrounds - but the reality on the ground, we learnt that day, is far from our pre-conceived notions.

We have partnered with various organisations over the years. Most often these partnerships have been programme related hence time bound - to give you some examples: We have partnered India Foundation for the Arts in aspects of their Arts education programme.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Los niños, niñas y adolescentes de todas las condiciones sociales en Bogotá pierden la oportunidad de ser escuchados en escenarios sociales o familiares ya que no son vistos como personas que puedan aportar a una construcción de ideas significativas.
La falta de reconocimiento de los niños y niñas se debe en gran medida a la estructura que tiene la ciudad, ya que no ha sido pensada como el escenario de inclusión de visiones diversas para una construcción conjunta de proyectos.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Nuestra solución es trabajar en proyectos de participación ciudadana proyectiva en los que la infancia y la adolescencia, a través de una serie de ejercicios de empatía, generan propuestas y proyectos pensando en las necesidades de la comunidad. Esto permite que los niños, niñas y adolescentes sean conscientes y reconozcan a los otros como actores válidos de la ciudad y generen un ejercicio recíproco, en el cual la sociedad acepta al otro y piensa en la construcción del bien común a través de la diferencia.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
1: Los participantes realizan el manual de convivencia a través de ejercicios empáticos, desde lo que les gusta y lo que no. Se presenta el proceso de mediación para resolución de conflictos: las partes expresan lo que sintieron, dialogan sobre sus errores y llegan a acuerdos para una buena convivencia. Los participantes hacen un recorrido sensorial por la ciudad para reconocer lugares asociados a la temática sobre la cual se va a reflexionar. Cada participante realiza un dibujo que expresa su experiencia.
2: Desarrollan una matriz de análisis para encontrar las problemáticas: problemática, causas, consecuencias y afectados. Cada participante realiza una obra de esténcil reflexiva.
3: Desarrollan una matriz de argumentación para encontrar soluciones: solución, cómo se puede realizar, beneficiarios y consecuencias si no se realiza. Con una obra de arte colectiva expresan las soluciones.
4: Desarrollan prototipos en cerámica fría de los elementos propuestos con manuales de uso y beneficiarios.
5: Instalan los prototipos propuestos a escala en el lugar de la problemática.
6: Socialización de la propuesta: Mural artístico de reflexión sobre la problemática y soluciones con la participación de la comunidad, se exponen las obras realizadas durante el proceso, se entrega el proyecto para gestión y ejecución.

A través del Convenio 3804 de 2011 de la Política Pública de Infancia y Adolescencia, la Secretaría de Integración Social, con el apoyo de UNICEF y Save The Children trabajan en Bogotá la participación infantil, de forma consultiva se escucha la voz de los niños y niñas sobre procesos coyunturales.
Bogotá Gota a Gota maneja procesos de participación proyectiva, en los que niños y niñas no solo dan opiniones, analizan problemáticas y desarrollan propuestas. Niños y niñas desarrollan competencias de argumentación, resolución de conflictos, análisis y construcción de proyectos que fortalecen su ejercicio de participación ciudadana.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Los beneficiarios de Tu ciudad también es mi ciudad entre el 2010 y 2011 han sido 92 niños y niñas, de estratos 1 y 2 de la localidad de Usaquén, y 800 adultos y jóvenes que han asistido a las exposiciones, visitas guiadas de los resultados del los talleres y murales de reflexión ciudadana.
Se gestionó un proyecto desarrollado por los niños y niñas para la transformación del parque Sauces Norte, instalando parte del mobiliario propuesto y 2 campañas culturales: medio ambiental y seguridad.
Los participantes crearon su manual de convivencia, resolvieron conflictos a través de la mediación, analizaron, argumentaron y construyeron soluciones en beneficio de la comunidad, y desarrollaron más de 20 obras colectivas y 126 obras de reflexión individuales.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Dentro de 3 años queremos cubrir el 30% de los colegios distritales y de convenio de la localidad de Usaquén en los niveles de primero a quinto de primaria, con el fin de generar una dinámica de participación proyectiva al interior de los colegios para que solucionen problemáticas que beneficien a la comunidad, lograr una transformación de la dinámica de convivencia en la que los estudiantes puedan solucionar sus conflictos a través de un ejercicio de empatía con las reglas generadas por sí mismos y lograr el reconocimiento de la ciudadanía infantil por parte de los adultos y jóvenes cercanos.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Barreras:
• Inconsciente colectivo considera que se es ciudadano solo cuando se ejercen los derechos políticos, en Colombia a los 18 años.
• Cultura de violencia arraigada que genera hábitos agresivos para la resolución de conflictos en los niños y niñas en el ámbito escolar.
Soluciones:
• Educación para adultos a través de exposiciones de obras realizadas por niños y niñas, visitas guiadas, presencia en los medios de comunicación y programas de ciudadanía infantil, resolución de conflictos y convivencia para adultos.

Bogotá Gota a Gota nace del trabajo y experiencia con niños y niñas en arte, ciudad y comunicación de su actual Representante Legal. Tatiana Montaña, a partir de su trabajo con niños y niñas como guía y profesora en cultura, ciudad, arte e historia; de sus estudios en Gestión Cultural y Negociación; y motivada por el cambio cultural que realizaron los ciudadanos de Bogotá durante los años 1995 y 2003; fundó una organización sin ánimo de lucro para desarrollar proyectos que articulen ciudad, arte e infancia. Dicho proyecto finalmente puede hacerse realidad en febrero del 2007, momento en el que empieza la investigación para estructurar la metodología y se constituye en cámara de comercio el 19 de septiembre del mismo año.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Nowadays in Brazil, everybody talks and hears about ecology and sustainability. At school, children are very well informed about the health of the nature. But, in most cases the way that the education process happens is very cold and focused on mentality: kids keep learning into the same logic-mathematic intelligence. Another treatment is needed to deal with those new young persons from the 21th century. Education has to change its tools and look at the mindful learning. We believe that,to learn about ecology, you have to ‘live’ecology. In this way, start to think about an education process that leads with the developing of relationship intelligence, that means sensitive and emphatic exercises.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
That’s why we create The Being Three Game, a live performance of two actors that conducts kids into a self-game process to discover the three that lives inside each of them. Visiting schools, the two characters - Great Master, and Rootsy - lead children into ludicrous and experimental exercises that explore the recognition of personal, social and global matters, working out the relationship intelligence: me and myself, my colleagues, my family and the city I live in. We believe that this contributes to the development of a new consciousness in the school system. We give pedagogic material and now we are producing a pilot for a education TV video Show of the project.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The best way to realize the power of transformation that the Being Tree Gamehas is participating in a school dynamic (watch the video). It’s very stimulating hearing the teachers feedback about the behaviour of the children. We work in difficult realities sometimes with kids that lost their families by murder, or fights evolving drugs. There was one time when an 8 years old kid, that didn’t talk since he was 6, started talking in the middle of the dynamic. Or a very aggressive boy, older than the others in class, who could work very well in collaborative way. We give all children an exercise book with activities to do at home, with family and friends, which is a way to spread our message. In the game, they express themselves with a drawing. This handmade self consciousness product is a powerful tool to better understand child personality and behaviour. Below is a teacher’s feedback (translated from Portuguese):
Your work is extremely important in conscientizing the children about the preservation of the environment.
My students were marveled and very interested in taking care and cultivating the ecosystem.
The developed activities were great and they are useful in integrating many shy children and helping them discover new talents in the process.
I am grateful for your participation in our school. Thanks!

We have a good challenge with H.Melillo (http://www.hmelillo.com.br), they develop social projects with the same partners we do, so sometimes we share resources. They have a good quality in project management, but we feel we have better innovation on our proposals. Another player that inspires and motivates a better work is Live.ad (http://livead.com.br), they develop communication projects with great human conceptual matters, innovating formats and engaging people, but still we don’t seek the same market. Another one is Platoniq (http://www.platoniq.net/eng), a great creative group that works with social matters mixing art and technology, they represent a very good peer.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Until now, we did one big tour around the Rio Grande do Sul province during almost three months. In this journey we visited 60 schools, in more than 20 towns, involving and givenn pedagogig material to more than 3500 children and 120 teachers. Last month we renewed the partnership with our sponsor for another 3 months of work at least. We made an agreement with the Secretary of Education (http://www.educacao.rs.gov.br) specifying our project as an official tool for public schools. Now we are setting a good agreement with the Zoobotanic Foundation (http://www.fzb.rs.gov.br/) to use and broadcast their researches making a pilot of a pedagogic TV Show video.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We aim to amplify the number of teams in the field up to three, so we can spread their activity for the whole state. Our goal is to reach the 2960 public schools in Rio Grande do Sul, and start a follow up process in at least 10% of those schools, by helping children and teachers in new activities. At the same time, in the next three years we want to have a TV show, keeping the same subject and characters of the Being Tree Game, so we will broadcast with much more power this new paradigm of education.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
There is always the funding problem, than we have human resources, and in the end the constant innovation requirement. We will try to fix that with multi-initiatives. First: making strong and effective partnerships, not with one, but with the whole sector we are into - energy (our current sponsor stimulates that). In the same way, we are going to keep a good relationship with the government structures (environment and education). Second: by diversifying our product, making some marketable object (we are planning the TV show). Third: investing in team training, so we do not lose quality and can amplify impact. Fourth: Creating new lines of digital communication tools, so we can involve more people in our ideas and spread the transforming intentions.

Well this is a good story to tell. It starts when me and my friend, who would become my partner, were living in Barcelona. It was a complete thinking and experiencing time. We talked a lot about the interesting way of how European cities organize themselves, placing culture as a path through innovation and social development. That was really strong to us. We got involved in many different actions and activities where art influenced economy and society. We came back to finish our studies and one day we realized we could offer a service that would challenge the communication market in Brazil by mixing brands, social efforts, art and economy. That was the beginning of Estúdio Nômade.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The Ugandan educational system is based on an outdated British colonial model that focuses largely on rote memorization of facts. This model does little to develop more well-rounded individuals who have advanced emotional intelligence, utilize critical thinking skills to interpret the world and make wise decisions, and explore creativity to solve problems. As a result, Ugandan young people are inadequately prepared to be social change-makers in their society, which is faced with enormous challenges that require innovative and collaborative solutions based on empathy for others, cooperation and unity, and shared sacrifice.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In Movement’s arts education program harnesses the transformative power of creativity and the expressive arts to bring about social change in disadvantaged young people in Uganda. The program is a supplement to the regular academic education our students receive, and is offered after school, on Saturdays, and during school holidays. The 3-year program which enrolls 270 students in primary school ranging in age from 9 to 18, develops emotional intelligence, critical and divergent thinking, and creativity and imagination. Teaching empathy, positive virtues, and a culture of character is woven throughout the entire program, using the artistic mediums of drama, music, dance, visual arts, creative writing, circus arts and photography as platforms to reinforce these important ideas that are critical to child development.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
In Movement holds four residential art camps a year, based on the Creative Community Model developed by Ashoka Fellow Charlie Murphy. These 5-day camps bring together 45 students and 20 adults, and are designed to promote intensive, lasting learning. When the students arrive at the camp to a creative and enthusiastic greeting, an atmosphere of joy is created, which sets the stage for open interaction between all camp participants. The camp begins with the creation of community agreements in which all camp participants give input. Learning activities at the camp include interactive art workshops, group discussions about topics such as empathy and relationship-building, small group sharing and counseling sessions known as “family group meetings” and evening activities such as theatre improvisation and a camp fire. The culminating event is an open microphone night which allows the students to perform and exhibit what has been learned during the course of the camp. Our camps, as well as all of the activities at our facility and in the community, are designed to strengthen bonds between people, promote diversity, build positive communication skills, encourage gratitude, support the idea of purpose-driven living, and celebrate life - all of which are essential elements of empathy.

In Movement does not see other arts or youth-serving organizations in Uganda as competitors, but as potential partners. In Movement provides training intensives in creative facilitation to members of other organizations, as well as providing trainings for teachers and workers at our partner schools and orphanages from which we draw our students. In fact, we see these trainings as an emerging source of sustainable revenue for In Movement in the future, and so it is advantageous for us to promote our arts-based approach in working with young people in the larger community.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
In Movement has held over 5,000 hours of classes and activities over 75 months, and has directly served over 1,500 students in our core program, and hundreds more in our outreach program. A testimonial given by our Form Six student Habiba Namusoke, says that because of In Movement’s program, she has overcome shyness and has improved self-confidence and public speaking/performance skills, she has discovered talents she never would have imagined she possessed, her English skills have improved, and she has taken on a leadership role as the Head Girl at Banunule Primary School. In addition, by challenging our students to think critically, and through the promotion of empathy, understanding and positive communication, In Movement is helping to shape future change-makers in Uganda like Habiba.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In Movement plans to continue working with approximately 270 young people per year in our program, as well as partner with organizations from different areas of Uganda to spread our approach through trainings and collaborative events. We also plan to share our approach with 500 local primary school teachers, providing them with new methods for transferring knowledge using creative and imaginative techniques, new behavior modification strategies, and by sharing best practices. We will also be improving upon a new monitoring and evaluation system implemented in 2012 so that we can better assess the impact of our program on our students.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The primary barrier to In Movement’s success will be failure to sufficiently diversify our funding sources. Up until 2011, the majority of our funding came from a private donor in Spain, as well as the Spanish government. Due to the current economic crisis in Spain, however, In Movement is currently pursuing other sources of funding, including corporate social responsibility contributions, grants, and small donor campaigns.

Begoña Caparrós studied the use of the arts in social development and served as a research scholar at Stanford for a project involving human movement. Her experience working with vulnerable groups through her studies and her interest in Africa led her to Uganda to research, along with local artists, the impact of creative exploration on disadvantaged communities. In her 3-month pilot project, there were many transformational moments with the children and artists in which she felt positive impact. There was a particular moment, however, in which a boy, who had been extremely quiet and withdrawn throughout the activities was able to show her a terrible wound on his back, and ask for help. To her, these activities allowed him to find his voice.

The Cotabato Province has been besieged for years by terrorism, armed conflicts, natural disasters which often result to massive evacuation and displacement of many civilians, either Muslims, Indigenous Peoples or Christians.
The conflicts do not only damage properties but more significantly lives. No one is excused from the destructive hands of conflict.
Consequently, the children’s education is also disrupted by the conflicts waged in the area. These grave and harsh realities made the children fully disadvantaged and deprived of their rights to be protected, free, and be educated
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Provincial Government bound to its duty to attain a just, comprehensive and lasting peace had to adopt a systematic and strategic approach to peace; hence institutionalizing the Summer Kids Peace Camp. The project uses both practical and strategic approaches in responding to the development needs of the children a dynamic approach to address the growing and escalating distrust and dissent creeping among the children and the youth in the Province.
The Camp is a learning, a sharing and a living experience for them to better understand and appreciate each other’s culture and belief.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
When students do not feel safe or cared for, they are less capable of reaching their full potential for personal well-being, and social and academic success. Yet, today, many students have the experience of being teased, intimidated, excluded, harassed, and even physically harmed in school. Social and emotional learning (SEL) programs are meant to address these problems. These programs are effective at helping students to develop increased empathy, decrease bullying, create and maintain healthy relationships, and gain the skills to resolve conflicts non-violently. It is often difficult for schools to find the time and funding to implement these programs. Therefore, the majority of schools still lack adequate social and emotional learning programs.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our “Speak your Peace” program offers a unique way for schools to implement a social emotional learning program with little financial cost or demands on teacher time: teach students to be the teachers! Fifteen years ago our organization created a program called Students Teaching Attitudes of Respect (STAR) to help schools with limited financial resources and staff time implement social emotional learning programs for their students. To date, STAR has successfully trained teams of students from 26 schools in Minnesota to teach conflict resolution, empathy, and compassion in their schools and communities. Our approach has been refined over the years to the point that it is receiving interest from around the country. We have developed the Speak Your Peace program to assist schools across the United States and around the world to implement the model of students teaching students social and emotional skills.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
First, a school selects 6 or more student volunteers in 5th-8th grade who show positive leadership skills to be part of a “Speak Your Peace” team. The team will work with an “advisor” throughout the school year, usually meeting for at least one hour per week during the school day or afterschool. The advisor can be a teacher, parent volunteer, social worker or other school staff member whose role is to help the team prepare presentations, and arrange opportunities for them to teach. The advisor and the team use a “Speak Your Peace” manual and DVD which includes information on how to be effective teachers as well as in-depth lessons on the following topics: Feelings and Needs, Bullying Behavior, Respectful Listening, Perspective, Thought Process, Cooperative Games, and Understanding Conflicts. Each topic section includes:
- Information about the topic
- A sample work lesson
-A student work plan for the team to use in writing out their parts for their own presentation
-A variety of skits and activities that the team can choose to use in their lesson.
-Entertaining video clips relating to the topic
Once a team has prepared and practiced their presentation, the advisor schedules times they can teach throughout the school. Finally, the students actually go into classrooms and teach! The students who are taught by the “Speak your Peace” Team learn practical knowledge and skills they can use to get along with others and resolve their conflicts. And by teaching the skills, the learning is more deeply internalized by the Speak Your Peace team members.

While there are other social emotional programs in existence, we have not found any that focus on students as the teachers. There may be those who don't believe it's possible to have kids teach. However, our success not only demonstrate that it’s possible, but that it has many advantages: 1. When students teach something they learn it better. 2. Seeing kids teach gets other kid’s interest and attention. 3. Students are more likely to believe in the usefulness of social and emotional skills and concepts taught by kids close to their own age, and thus are more likely to use them. 4. In order to create a culture of peace, students must see empathy, compassion, and non-violence as “cool”.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Peacemaker Resources has successfully trained students to teach conflict resolution and social emotional skills for over 15 years.
We have trained teams in 26 schools in Northern Minnesota, amounting to over
2,000 students.
-In the 2010-2011 school year over 9,858 people were in attendance for
student teachings (some of the attendees attended multiple presentations).
-96% of student participants indicate that the program is meaningful.
-97% of parents report that the program has had an impact on their child.
-Schools enthusiastically support the peer-to-peer interactions of teams teaching skills to other students.
-Students continue to use the skills learned during training to resolve/manage conflict and teach others, both peers and adults, the skills they have learned.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We believe that every student should have the opportunity to learn skills of empathy, compassion, and nonviolence. Our program has allowed thousands of students within schools throughout Northern Minnesota to have this opportunity. Now we would like to make it available to schools throughout the world. We recently completed the second edition of our program’s manual and DVD which we will market on a national level so that our program will begin to be impemented in schools across the U.S. We will also be providing training, to interested schools, on how to successfully implement the program. We also plan to begin translating the Speak Your Peace program materials into at least two other languages so that the program can reach international audiences.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
We believe that once schools are aware of the Speak Your Peace program, they will be interested in implementing it. Getting them to be aware of the program, however, may be our biggest challenge. In order to generate awareness and interest in the program, we will need to adequately promote it. Peacemaker Resources is a non-profit with a small staff and a limited operating budget. A successful promotion and marketing campaign would require more staff time and financial resources than our organization currently has available. And if we are successful at generating interest in the program, acquiring the resources to offer customer support and continued development of the program may pose additional challenges.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
The seeds of the Speak Your Peace program were planted in the early 90's at a school in Bemidji, Minnesota where one of our staff had been volunteering to teach social emotional skills. It was there that she had the idea to give students the opportunity to teach the skills they had learned. She thought that if students taught these skills to others they, themselves, would learn more. Students loved teaching what they knew to others, and their audiences were engaged and enthusiastic. One of the first audiences outside of the school setting was the sheriff’s department where Sue had been asked to do a presentation on how to de-escalate a conflict. She brought a team of 3rd graders who quickly had the attention and interest of many police officers. The students taught a 40-minute lesson on “I-statements” and other conflict management techniques. The officers expressed gratefulness that youth were being taught the skills that they knew could significantly change their jobs in the future.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The problem is disengaged young people who do not feel they are important in the society and so therefore make poor choices in terms of alcohol and drug abuse.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
To establish an enterprise where the young people feel a sense of ownership and contribute to the community in which they live in a positive manner through engagement with arts practice.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
My aim would be to begin with younger members of the community; children and young people aged 7-14 years; and once the program is established to engage these young people as mentors for new members through community based practice where skilled young adults (16 to 30 years) share their knowledge, expertise and experience. I would like the program to be a not-for-profit agency where the young people eventually take the reigns and generate income through submitting their work to exterior bodies, whether in visual arts, film, theatre, music or writing. I believe that my solution focuses on creating opportunities and by engaging younger members initially it may be a way of showing alternative pathways before the impact of difficulty and challenge are resolved through harmful approaches.

In the area in which I live there are few if any arts-based projects of this nature. There are a great many sporting projects and a community based project supporting young people into the building sector. The challenges, which I have faced before when working on a youth-based project were more to do with the concept of a new idea and a different person proposing it. Time and perseverance will be the most difficult of the challenges.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Children living in DC homeless shelters often lack the support structures and tools they need to process their own complicated emotions or relate to the feelings of others. Many have experienced multiple stressors and traumas, including eviction, domestic violence, abuse and neglect, parental incarceration, and separation from their community. They attempt to hide their homeless status from their classmates, who sometimes tease them about their inadequate school supplies and clothes. Their parents are overwhelmed and often emotionally unavailable. Most shelters do not offer any programs or services to address children’s unique needs, leaving many children feeling alone and unsupported.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
HCPP nurtures healthy child development and reduces trauma among children living in five DC homeless shelters by providing them with consistent, stable opportunities to play, exercise and learn. Children at our eight weekly Playtime programs receive support from our caring, dedicated volunteers as they learn to express themselves and understand the feelings of others through the therapeutic benefits of play. Our 120 college-educated volunteers work at the same site each week for a year, enabling them to form strong bonds with the children. Volunteers receive specialized training in child development, empathic communication, conflict resolution, and creative play facilitation. Our volunteers model empathy and kindness and use active listening skills to help children identify their feelings, an important first step to recognizing the feelings of others.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Six-year-old Marcus enters the cold, concrete shelter carrying the baggage of multiple traumas but little else. His exhausted mother signs him into Playtime, and he is greeted by a friendly volunteer who invites him inside our colorful playroom.
Marcus scans all the stations around the room. The reading corner filled with pillows and books, the dollhouse and train set, basketball hoop, block box, and art cart. Children are trying on costumes and creating skits in the dress-up corner, providing a healthy way to act out emotions and “try on” or anticipate how different people interact. At the art table, he sees another child creating a self-portrait and describing herself to the group who is learning to listen. In another corner, Marcus sees children try yoga where they gain body awareness and stress relief, and practice self-control.
“Respect Each Other” is Rule #1 at Playtime, so whenever conflict arises, children are encouraged to express their feelings, listen to and acknowledge the feelings of others, and find a resolution that leaves everyone feeling respected and understood. Children heal from trauma through relationships, feeling capable, and having the tools to express themselves. In an otherwise harsh shelter environment, Marcus finds belonging in Playtime.

Although many organizations in DC provide shelter to families, HCPP is the only organization that offers a once or twice weekly children’s program that incorporates art, exercise, healthy snacks, free play, and creative activities promoting empathy, learning, and self-expression. Our Teen Program also provides tutoring, which sets us apart from other providers. “Project Create” offers art programs for children in shelters, and “Street Yoga” partners with us to provide yoga, but they are entirely complimentary, with only minor competition for funding. We are interested in writing joint grants with the Literacy Lab to bring in reading remediation to the shelters.

Our cost-effective model relies on volunteer labor which is valued at over $1 million each year. Since our founding in 2004, 1,300 volunteers have served thousands of children. Ours is the only children’s programming offered at the five sites we serve, providing 150 children each week with an oasis from the stress of shelter living. According to a survey of 61 parents, 87% of parents reported that their children learn new skills in Playtime that help in school and life, 93% said their children feel safe and secure in Playtime, 98% reported feeling happier, calmer and less stressed after Playtime gives them a weekly break, and 100% reported that their children are happy in Playtime and treated warmly and affectionately by volunteers.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next 1 – 3 years, HCCP expects to continue serving over 700 children each year living in DC shelters. In 2012, we will deepen our impact through the introduction of our year-long Play Curriculum which includes empathy education; we will also hire three Site Manager Fellows. In 2013, we plan to introduce a Parent Education Initiative to help parents strengthen their relationships with their children through responsive interactions. We also would like to obtain funding to share our curriculum so that it can be used on a national scale to benefit children in shelters across the country.

Working with families in transition requires our model to be flexible to the changing needs of the demographic. The population is transient by nature; children can move out with little notice, so every Playtime must count. Families have more needs than we can meet, which is why our Parent Referral Program and partnerships are so important. Our Playtime Program, Teen Program and Parent Referral Program all were created in response to our clients’ expressed needs. We are confident that we can continue to responsibly grow with the guidance of our strategic plan and regular focus groups and surveys with families.

When Jamila Larson worked at the Children’s Defense Fund, she organized an employee toy drive. She heard there were children living in the largest homeless shelter in the country located just a few blocks from the Capitol building. On her visit, she discovered half-dressed children languishing in the hallways, sheets for doors, metal bunkbeds and not a single toy in sight. When she asked the shelter if anyone ever donated any toys, they said “Sometimes, but we keep them locked in a closet so they don’t make a mess.” That’s when it became clear it would do no good to donate toys. They literally needed to donate themselves to protect a child’s right to play. So the Playtime Project was born.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
1.1. To create empathy in the hearts of children worldwide, it needs direct child-to-child contact, across cultural, social, national borders – this is what many schools worldwide don't or can't deliver. And if they deliver? Nobody hears about it in the public - since its ignored by mainstream media.
2. To create empathy in the heart of people worldwide, young and old, it needs public awareness and indepth insight in the issues of marginalized groups – here, the mainstream media fail to deliver. With bombing children and families with constant commercial non-informative content full of violence, propaganda, non-sense, they are part of the problem – not of the solution. And: they earn money with stealing precisous time of the kids that they would need for education and empathy building.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We combine the empathy-creating potential of IT-based peer-to-peer cooperation of children in and out of school with the power of civil society media. Children of different parts of the world learn to know each eather, learn together, make friends, start partnerships.
And with the kids-made media reports about their achievements, they inform the public and function as role models for other children. Our media coverage, to be live on air, encourages them & the whole community. Moreover, being a child reporter opens doors to meet, interview and discuss important people, experts, role models that they would normally never would have the chance to meet. Example: UN messenger for Peace Jane Goodall, interviewed by a reporter that has strong learning disabilities, a marginalized Turkish girl who later received an award with us!
Thus, we can empower children to develop empathy and, as second step, multiply the awareness for their achievements via civil society broadcast and social media.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
In our series “We discover the World”, school children of the global North (Germany) focus on different global South countries and the life of children in these countries, e.g. Uganda, Ghana, Afghanistan, Thailand, India, Pakistan. They learn about children's rights, gender, child labour, climate change, interview experts and discuss possible solutions. As the highlight, they directly contact children in these countries either via skype, phone, email, letters, drawings. Thus, the children in the North get a broad understanding and a much closer personal, emoational relation to those issues that are far, far away for them. As a result, the kids often establish school partnerships and start fundraising for their new friends in the South. We record the whole process of global learning and empathy building in the workshop and turn into podcasts, radio shows and websites that are free use for all schools, families, digital civil libraries. Plus we share the resulting shows with non-commercial radio stations within the network of the World Association of Community Radios. This model creates a multi-win situation:The kids learn a lot and build empathy for peers in the South, other kids and families and the public become aware of their achievements, educators learn how to use IT for such projects in the future, non-commerical media are happy that they can provide their local audience with valuable, educative content, our donors are happy that we successfully contribute to global learning, cultural exchange and empathy building, both locally and internationally.

Facebook: does not educate and empower the kids for indepth educative work. Web-based education networks like IEARN: do not have the link to civil society media and their multiplying power, especially in regions with little internet access. Public Media: are top-down, mostly made by professional adults talking down the kids and are a “closed shop” especially for marginalized and “less talented” normal kids.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We have reached and involved children, youth, educators in more than 100 countries now; among them as diverse states as Afghanistan, Pakistan, USA, Canada, Russia, China, Greenland, Kiribati, Malawi; often marginalized kids. We have proven how intense and committed kids (from as early as kindergarten up to 18 years) worldwide are in working together, how keen they are to meet other cultures and how happy and ready they are when it comes to showing solidarity to peers in other countries after our trainings. We have proven the power of the innovative mix of school based media workshops and cooperation with civil society media. As a result, we have a tremendous demand for projects in more than 100 countries, from Mocambique to Indonesia, from Bolivia to USA: school, youth centre, street children shelters, community media asking for cooperations and want to become part of our global network, want to foster empathy, tolerance, peace, education across cultural, social, political borders.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
1. Global roll-out: 150 countries involved
2. Intensification: more and more regular exchange of even more the partners worldwide. More minorities + handicapped kids involved
3. Diversication: More multi-media and social media involved. Re-naming to World Children's MEDIA Network
4. Educational progress: research and impact based improvement of our methods, disseminated by training of involved educators.
5. Decentralization, based on "Social Franchising": Establishment of regional and national chapters of our World Children's Media Network on all continents. This is the strategic tool to guarantee for true and equal global exchange of kids, as condition to reach empathy and understanding.
6. Sustainability by diversification and growth of funding sources (details see next block)
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
After 10 years and many prestigious national and international awards, we still have no regular funding for the core team. Dangerous, discouraging and exhausting.
Plan to overcome them is to reach sustainability by diversification and growth of funding sources:
1. Diverse financial sources:
Crowd funding, schools' own education budgets, local/regional/national funding for the regional chapters, special fundings for special issues e.g. environment, girls rights, media trainings; merchandising, membership fees, long-term projects with top-donors for global top-projects, e.g. global peace education project with World Bank or UNESCO.
2.) Establishment of the World Children's Media Foundation as a powerful und lasting foundation of our work; as layed out in profound Master Plan.

Back in 2001, I did my MBA in Media Management. My son Jonathan was five then. As a journalist, I wanted to listen to the radio, but I realized that I had to turn it off everytime my son came in: There was scary news in the context of 9/11, and the other stations were full of mindless commercial trash. This was the moment when I started to think about a children's radio - and I discussed it with Jonathan. As sociologist with some child/media psychology knowledge who was influenced by East German civil society movement in his youth, I decided that the radio should non-commercial, educative, advertising-free and organized as grassroots NGO. I started with 5000 Euro debts due to the MBA and only with the help of friends.
Ten years later, we connect children in more than 100 countries, have received prestigious awards. And Jonathan? He became part of the Global Youth Media Council and co-author of its declaration at the World Summit on Media for Children and Youth in Sweden 2010...!

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The current system in the education sector focuses more on remembering rather than learning. Performing rather than understanding. And its all about competition rather than helping others to learn. Today a child is expected to learn at everyone's pace. If a child is not able to go with that pace, he is flunked or promoted regardless of whether he has understood the concepts. Also many children are tagged naughty, distracting, hyperactive, with behavior problems, bullies etc. So with all this we have problems like slow learners teased by the peers on making a mistake. Children with learning disabilities and emotional problems labeled as poor performers, unprivileged children lacking proper motivation towards education and moral values. the focus is more on superficial solutions.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We incorporate trained therapy animals in the education system to address various issues from lack of concentration to developing empathy. Children are very sensitive to the judgements that adults pass on them. They are sensitive to the methods we use to teach / correct them. A simple thing like being laughed at or being taunted while reading out loud can shatter a child's confidence. If he has a learning disability, then the problem is further deepened when he faces ridicule. Our therapy dogs or 'reading buddies' as we call them, provide an environment of complete and nonjudgmental acceptance where the child is guided by the counselor on appropriate corrections. The presence of the dog helps the child to overcome difference in a much more empathetic way. Similarly our therapy dogs assist school counselors in addressing behavioral and emotional issues in children. They learn about empathy through structured interaction with the therapy dog which in turn reflects in their studies.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
In a typical Animal Assisted Education program we would have a trained therapy dog, a dog handler and the counselor/special educator/teaches who conduct the session. Here the team of counselors or teachers are trained in animal therapy and how to incorporate it in the school setting. The counselor/teachers refer children who may lag behind in studies or who have behavior/emotional problems. Individual goals are decided and a program is designed with all activities planned around the dog. For example a child who is scared of reading our aloud or has a reading problem is made to read out to the dog. He feels more secure and comfortable reading out to a dog than to a teacher. They forget it is tuition and enjoy. The other children are demonstrated how the dog carefully listens with out laughing or taunting, hence developing empathy and understanding. We also use this format while working with children with special needs in integrated schools. They read out to the dog, write on the board in front of him, sing rhymes and learn language etc. We also use this model while working for the education of the underprivileged children. Their basic problem is lack of interest and personality problems due to social background. A dog helps them in focusing on studies as well as moral values where they learn in an experiential way. We are also currently working with juvenile delinquents and at risk children in the education domain. with the dog as the medium, we are working on developing empathy, moral values, improving social dynamics and working on their reading/writing skills.

Since we are the only organization training and incorporating animals in the education sector, we don't have competitors in that sense. But other who are working on addressing similar problem would be special educators. The novelty of our program is in having a non human member in our team. The dog can provide much more to these children than humans. Many children would like to hold on to a soft toy while reading. We provide a live, breathing dog. Many children would want to hug someone when they get a scolding from a teacher or get bullied. We have the therapy dog providing them comfort. They therapy dog listens to everything without taunting or being judgmental. These things cannot be provided by human counselors alone. we see these 'competitors' as our potential partners.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our Tails of Joy program has been successfully conducted in
over 15 bookstores, two organizations for education of underprivileged children, one center for at risk children, Two normal schools, two integrated schools and over 15 special schools. We have worked in 2 cities: Mumbai and Pune with many success stories. To mention 1 specific impact we are in the third year of successful implementation of this program at Kalmadi School, Pune where this program runs parallel to their academic program. we have not only seen academic progress in the participating children but also seen behavioral and emotional changes. They learned a great deal about empathy by interacting with their reading buddy, like not to taunt or laugh while someone makes a mistake. they also learn how it feels when someone does not listen to you, hence they learn to pay attention. They feed the dog, give water and learn to be responsible towards another life. Many values which go beyond formal education are developed
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
To replicate this model in normal schools across Mumbai and Bangalore. To train more and more teachers, school counselors, special educators in Animal Assisted Education, to conduct documented research collecting data supporting our program.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
People's likes and dislikes towards animals might cause a hindrance. Finding the right sort of counselors who like or are tolerant towards animals. Even if they can't handle animals, we would have an animal handler from our team. Counselors should be creating and spontaneous enough to alter the activities according to the children and the animal. Another hindrance might be the schools not allowing dogs in their campus. These problems might be due to lack of awareness. spreading the right kind of awareness, supporting our findings with empirical data may help skeptics accept this program.

In India it was an alien concept to have dogs in schools Only stray dogs used to roam in the school campus becoming the target of notorious children. We first started taking dogs to popular libraries and bookstores, but then through Times of India's newspaper in education program (NIE) we started taking dogs to schools. We were already running successful programs in special schools but incorporating this program in a normal school was a challenge. After a chance meeting with a school counselor (also a dog lover) and a lot of brain storming, we planned and implemented the first normal school project. The idea was: if our therapy dogs can help school children overcome their learning differences as well as learn about empathy and values, it would add on to the value of education. In the second semester of the program we had parents coming in and telling us about not just academic progress but also personality change in their children because of our program

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
American teens are suffering from an epidemic of poor mental and emotional health:
- 10-15% of teenagers have symptoms of depression; 1 in 5 will know depression before adulthood. Teens are the most likely age to feel “alone.”
- 60% of high school students have contemplated suicide; 17% have seriously considered it; 8.4% have attempted in the past 12 months.
- 1 out of four teens are bullied. 9 out of 10 LGBT teens are bullied.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
1) Teaching mindfulness and social-emotional learning courses in high schools. Our motto for teaching in schools is: engage, connect, and go deeper. During our 10-week courses, we equip teenagers to deal with their own thoughts and emotions. Until we start teaching these skills in schools, we will have a generation that is leading without feeling.
2) Weeklong residential mindfulness retreats for teenagers. On our 5-day nature based retreats we deepen teenagers relationships with themselves, others, and the natural world. Our daily schedule includes mindfulness meditation, mindful movement (yoga, Qi Gong), small group discussions, and creative expression. About a third of our retreats are spent in silence (without any cell phones/technology) balanced by times of mindful discussion amongst teens and staff members and fun.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The core practice of all of our work is mindfulness meditation. A growing body of scientific research demonstrates that mindfulness and social-emotional programs in schools improves students’:
- Attitudes about others, empathy, social interactions and classroom behavior
- Inner resiliency and self-esteem
- Decreases their stress and conduct problems
We also teach “heartfulness” – practices that cultivate compassion. At one of our retreats last summer, there was a moment when a dozen teenagers were weeping simultaneously as they felt compassion for themselves and their peers. By increasing the amount of compassion teens feel towards themselves, they are able to cultivate more empathy for others.

We are the only organization in the country dedicated to providing secular mindfulness meditation retreats for teenagers. Two Buddhist meditation centers, the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock, also offer one five-day teen meditation retreat each year, but they are explicitly Buddhist organizations and have no plans to expand their programs.
In terms of our high school and after school programs, there is no other organization in the US dedicated to teaching mindfulness specifically to teenagers. There are a number of excellent organizations bringing mindfulness programs to younger students (K-8), but no one else focusing on teenagers.

Since our inception in 2008 we have:
- Reached over 200 teenagers through our teen retreats. 90% of teen participants say the retreat “changed their lives.”
- Carried out research on our teen retreats in conjunction with Virginia Commonwealth University. Initial studies demonstrated positive effects on our teen retreat participants including, “Significant improvements over time in positive and negative affect, life satisfaction, self-esteem, mindfulness, acceptance, relatedness, and all 6 subscale indicators of emotion regulation.”
- We have hosted workshops for over 300 professionals and parents who work with teens
- We have taught more than 1,000 students through our in-school programs in four states (CA, VA, MD, DC)
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We aim to transform the lives of over 500 teens on retreat and reach over 10,000 teens through in-school programs. We also aim to train more than 200 teachers, professionals and parents in the iBme curricula and practices.
Our vision is to create a generation of leaders that are in touch with their own feelings, thoughts, and emotions. We want to create a generation of heart-centered leaders who are ready to tackle the challenges of the 21st century in collaboration with their peers and respect for the natural world.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
In terms of our retreats, our main barrier is having enough qualified teachers and staff to teach our retreats. Right now we have 20 qualified teachers. We are starting a teacher "apprenceticeship" model this summer in order to increase the number of qualified teachers for our retreats.
In terms of in school and after school programs, our main potential problem is qualified teachers. Last fall, we piloted our teacher-training program in the DC area and we are working to increase the number of qualified teachers with an expanded teacher training in the 2012-2013 school year.

Joe Klein was a counselor to Virginia Tech students in the wake of the shooting rampage in 2007. As he counseled the students, he realized more than his counseling training or any other formal schooling, his mindfulness practice allowed him to connect with the students.
Right after this experience, Joe was introduced to mindfulness retreats for teenagers. In his twenty-five years of working with teens, he had never seen a program that had such an ability to change the lives of teenagers so quickly and powerfully, and at the same time nurture and nourish the adults involved. As he puts it, “Everyone’s battery was on gain.” He immediately quit his job and decided to bring mindfulness to teenagers full time through retreats and in-school programs.

We are committed to offering our retreats and in-school programs to a diverse range of students and schools. However, to make our retreats sustainable we must come up with a pricing structure that allows for both diversity and revenue.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Climate change is the biggest challenge of the 21st century, the people that will be most affected are the marginalised. The people creating the issues are mainly those in the Western World, the main cause of climate change is carbon emissions. Another issue is people are used to being told what to do in a nanny state and wont accept responsibility for actions and their role in their own future. The third issue is that environmental educations is not taught in all schools throughout the country as it is not obligatory. It is up to the interest of the teacher. The final issue is that many schools in developing countries cannot afford to buy schools books for children.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solutions to the issues above is the ebook and puppet show - Steppup to Climate Change. It is a children's book and puppet show used to teach children about climate change, it's causes and effects and the child's power to determine their future. It aims to teach the children the real life effects of climate change yet in a fun medium but also to teach them about their role as responsible citizens. It encourages the emphatic side of climate change by introducing a sparrow called harry that is dying from pollution. The book incorporate science, english, craft, drama and environmental studies to ensure it will be most useful for teachers and can be used to cover many parts of the curriculum to save time and interest most teachers. For every book or puppet show pack that is bought one will be sent to a school in the developing country. This is to teach children sending the books empathy and to enable children who receive the free books to read who may not otherwise have books.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The model is a website. On this website there is an ebook telling the story of 2 children's visits to 2 worlds, one with the negative effects of climate change - flooding, pollution etc and the other a more ideal utopia. At the end of the book the children need to decide which world they want to work towards. The story also covers relationships with animals, personal relationships and also introduces a hero and a villain for an old fashioned fairy tale feel. The website also contains a script and pdf's of puppets that can be printed and cut out to put on a puppet show. The site also contains an information pack for teachers to explain the environmental areas covered in the book. All the information can be printed from the website but there is a pack that can be bought. For every pack that is bought one will be sent to a child/school in a developing country. There are options for the children to make their own puppets and put the pictures on the site. The site will be launched after Easter.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
The book/puppet show encompasses areas such as climate change, relationships, animals, health, science, art, drama and craft. There are many outlets for children in theses areas but none that I know of that combines all of the above in to a storybook and puppet show. Stories such as Dr Suess the Lorax have proved very popular with children in relation to the environment. We see other such books/sites as complimentary to ours, for information to pass from short term to long memory it needs to be triggered in a number of ways over a period of time so we believe that the 'Steppup' book and puppet show will assist in teaching children and their teachers about climate change, empathy, responsibility and future thinking. It is a softer approach to learning heavy issues.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The book and puppet show has been trialed on a number of schools and youth groups and it has proved with popular with children and their teachers. One youth leader stated that the puppet show was funny but emotional at the end when thinking about the choices we need to make. Children and their teachers have found the puppet show and the book fun yet they understand the serious underlying issues in it. I visited a school 12 months after reading the book and the children remembered the story and some of the main characters. In the book there is a sparrow that is dying of pollution, the children told me this was scary but they knew how to save him. There is also an evil villain in the book which children find scary but like that there is a hero and that they know how to combat the villain.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In the next 1 - 3 years the website will be officially launched. We will look to printing the books and making puppetshow packs. We will set up a scheme that for every book/pack sold one will be donated to a school/child in a developing country. There will be links made between the givers and receivers of the packs. We will approach Government and Semi State departments as well as educational agencies to collaborate with this project. There will be more books and puppet shows written to add to the series. We will develop workshops for festivals to carry out puppet making and holding the puppet show and book reading. We will commission to make a short film of the puppet show. This will impact both children that hear/read the book and the children the books are donated to .
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Barriers will be competition with other books, websites etc aimed at children. Using contacts in the education sector, social media and getting press coverage will assist with this. Barriers always exists is getting projects like this in to the busy school schedule. I already run environmental workshops in schools so this would assist with that barrier. Ensuring the donated packs reach the children in developing countries will be barrier. For the initial project I have a number of contacts in Ghana and I can work with Irish Aid agencies that are on the ground in theses areas. Getting buy in from Government agencies will be slow but we will persevere and prove our case to overcome this barrier.

We were part of a British Council Climate Change Advocate event, our initial meeting was in a park in County Down,Northern Ireland.In the park there was a castle, in Ireland most castles are ruined but this was more like the Disneyland Fairytale castle and it got us to talking about how magical it looked and then films we loved as kids such as Labryinth and the Neverending Story. We liked how they were scary, magical and exciting and thought it would be fun to write an environmental fairytale. The following day we were put in to groups - social, policy and business and the social based group decided we would work on the fairy tale, we wanted heros and villains, scary scenes, humor and drama. We decided instead of only focusing on one area we would look at sustainable development holistically and write the the story covering mainly topics. We decided to be innovative and look at a puppet show and book as an alternative to just a book. the project has grown from there.

I am one of six people that has written this book/puppetshow. We have a partnership with the creator of the website and the illustration for the ebook. We created an advisory panel of experts in the education area. At the moment there are no other partnerships but there are many opportunities. We will look the various relevant government departments for partnership. The British Council and Cultivate (sustainable development co-op) have been involved in the project and will provide assistance and mentorship in further stages.

I believe in collaboration and I see me working in close contact with teachers, educators,puppetmakers, story tellers, environmentalists, business owners to achieve the mile stones of this project. I may be the only staff but I envision working with the may contacts I have assembled during my career.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The Rockaway peninsula faces a paucity of in-school and extracurricular programs offering artistic and socially and emotionally responsive curriculum and activities for children and teens. The arts have been largely removed from children's in and after-school time and replaced with test preparation classes that reinforce competition, repetition and unimaginative problem solving in an isolated environment. The majority of the 631 children attending PS 104 live in households that are below the poverty level and do not have access to fee-based extracurricular activities, including arts programs. Additionally, the geographically isolated peninsula makes access to such programs in other areas of Brooklyn and Queens, even if they are economically affordable, unattainable.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our solution, is the socially and emotionally responsive arts-based after-school program, kidsmART. This program was developed on the premise that children can only create in an environment that is safe and nurturing. Daily, staff members implement the kidsmART principles: kindness; imagination; dependability; sensitivity; motivation; acceptance; respect and tolerance in combination with a zero tolerance toward bullying protocol; a system of positive reinforcement in which children reward one another; and the acceptance of changing curriculum and program logistics in order to consistently provide the most emotionally responsive program possible. In 2006, RAA brought the then nine year old program to PS 104Q in the Bayswater section of Far Rockaway, Queens, NY. Annually, 150 children from PS 104 attend kidsmART where they receive academic assistance, participate in hands-on art projects and actively participate in conflict resolution and implementation of the kidsmART social code.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Success at kidsmART is achieved by exhibiting the social code and children doing their best at what interests them.
Our primary activities are visual arts; performing arts; science and art; games; storytelling/reading and building workshops. Children are free to choose an activity. Choices are based on interest in the medium, an affinity for an Instructor, a friend’s willingness to engage in an activity, or the simple need to be either passive or active.
At the start of each program year participants are reminded of the program principles. The most effective manner to do this is through role play which offers concrete examples in a playful manner. kidsmART maintains a zero tolerance to bullying platform. We created a safe space for victims to come forward, seek solutions confidentially or to confront the child they feel is bullying them. Our protocol actively engages childre requiring them to explore their feelings, actions and to recognize the consequence their words and actions have on others. By providing a nonjudgmental space for children to work out conflicts and to learn how to actively listen, find their voices, and build friendships kidsmART cultivates a truly empathic environment.
Here workshops in the visual and performing arts lend themselves to increasing children’s self-esteem, exploration of their own and other’s emotions and a variety of appropriate modalities to express those emotions. Finally, via collaborative projects children engage in a social experience that is noncompetitive and is based to a large part on their direction.

Peers and competitors include other NYC and 21st Century funded after-school programs including, CHAMPS and Safe Space who also offer programs to students in PS 104. Co-existing with these programs for the past 5 years, we have found that the other programs do not pose a challenge to our success or growth. Those programs typically draw children from families who require 5 days per week of after-school care (kidsmART offers 4 days per week due to budgetary constraints) or children whose primary interest is athletics. The majority of children who have participated in kidsmART and the other programs prefer kidsmART due to kidsmART's holistic approach and focus on children's emotional/social well-being. There is always a waiting list for entrance and the program serves 75+ children per day.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Children most strongly impacted by kidsmART are those who hold a significant interest in the arts; are frequently victims of bullying; have special needs; suffer poverty and/or neglect; are being raised in households where one or both parents are absent; and/or are recent immigrants. By providing a safe space for children to creatively express their emotions and succeed artistically we have witnessed increased self-esteem and a greater willingness among children and their parents to seek positive solutions to conflicts.
kidsmART is dedicated to working with children with special needs from learning disorders to diagnoses on the Autism spectrum. We are one of the only mainstream NYC funded after-school programs admitting children with special needs and creating curriculum that enables them to engage creatively and gain social skills they may use outside of the program. Parents state that the impact this hands-on learning experience has in their children’s lives is tremendous.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We intend to sustain our current impact in Rockaway, providing services to approximately 380 children annually in the after-school program at PS 104Q and in Fort Tilden. We have begun planning for an additional after-school site in PS 146Q in Howard Beach, Queens. RAA will run two preliminary series of workshops this spring and then proceed toward building a program at this site in the fall. Other plans for growth include a program for teens that will be based upon the kidsmART principles, but primarily conceived by young people (age 14-17) who attended kidsmART and/or volunteered or worked at the program. Youth involvement and leadership will be paramount to the construction and implementation of this program. Teens began meeting with Directors to share ideas in summer 2011.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
A lack of resources on the part of PS 146Q could hinder the success of an after-school program at that site. RAA has already applied for and secured funding. An NYS Office of Children & Family Services grant for supplies and materials for after-school programming has already been secured; talks have begun with Citibank regarding funding; income from camp tuition has been slated for use in support of the after-school initiative.
Barriers that hinder the success of projects with teens include their already crowded schedules, peer pressure and work obligations. We are working to overcome these obstacles by asking teens to create schedules for the program; opportunities for community beautification projects that fulfill community service hours and perhaps providing nonmonetary rewards.

Noah screamed. Someone touched his project & he was upset. Noah was creative, but had ADHD. His dad was disabled. There was little money. kidsmART staff coaxed him out from under the table & explained the next steps: Calm down, talk it out, apologize, pick up the beads. Noah came back. He yelled. He was protective of his artwork. Staff showed children how to respect Noah & his artwork. They worked with Noah on proper ways to communicate.
Noah came to kidsmART for years. He made sculptures of characters he called Buppies.
In 2009, kidsmART funding was slashed. A rally was held. Noah took the floor.
“I love coming here. I used to not listen. Here they listen to me. No one let’s anyone get picked on. When I made a Buppy, John the drawing teacher said it was cool. I’m selling my Buppies. The money goes to kidsmART. There’s more kids like me who need kidsmART.”

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
La educacion convencional, tradicional en casi todo el mundo esta en una crisis. El numero de experiencias educativas alternativas esta creciendo. Hay un gran potencial inspirador y catalizador en esta diversidad de iniciativas educativas desapercibidas para toda la comunidad educativa, a nivel mundial. Cada una de estas experiencias innovadoras es valiosa pero generalmente los proyectos se desarrollen aislados, a veces porque no son comprendidas ni valoradas por la mayoria, son marginadas, talvez porque creado por gente visionaria, a los cuales al inicio muchas veces se les llama: locos.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
He creado una Plataforma virtual que muestra y documenta las diferentes propuestas educativas que he encontrado viajando durante los últimos 10 años en 10 países (3 continentes). La lista de 50 proyectos educativos visitados se complementa con información adicional que valora, apoya, inspira y defiende las experiencias educativas alternativas y a traves de metodologias de la educacion activa libre inspira y fortaleza su trabajo. Los dos objetivos principales son:
1) Fortalecer y apoyar a las personas que han creado proyectos educativos alternativos con el mensaje: “No están solos, existe una comunidad de muchos buscando nuevos caminos en educación – con corazón”. Y Luego facilitar el intercambio espontáneo entre los proyectos, sin organización o red oficial.
2) Inspirar a la educación convencional, mostrando una diversidad de alternativas educativas con el mensaje: “ya no son unos pocos locos…son muchos :-) y probablemente no están tan locos!”

Decidido de querer vivir en el Peru, queria ganar mi vida creando un servicio innovador para facilitar el aprendizaje placentero y eficaz de diferentes idiomas. Pero al asistir a una conferencia sobre la educacion inclusiva en el año 2006 en una provincia del centro del Peru me di cuenta que con mi conocimiento de diversos proyectos educativos alternativos conocido durante mis viajes, podria inspirar a la Educacion Peruana, aportar a mejorar la calidad con respuestas practicas y metodos innovadores. De mi pasion de investigar mas sobre proyectos educativos innovadores y compartir estas experiencias ha nacido la pagina web: Primero en GEOCITIES y luego con el propio dominio, facilitado y donado por mi hermano: www.elviajerosuizo.com

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
School Bullying and child abuse in schools has been two of the most prominent issues that have resulted into several negative consequences like high drop-out, long term psychological problems. In context of Nepal, these issues have not been able to get as much as priority as required for school development. On the other hand, the teaching scenario in Nepal is still dominated by the traditional method of implicting physical and mental punishment and forcing knowledge upon the students.The need here is to empower the children against bullying and any form of exploitation against them as well as teaching the school teachers the right way of dealing and teaching children.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution here is to make the children understand about what bullying actually is through different classes, dramas and awareness raising programs. We try to make all the children understand how bullying feels like so that no potential bully can emerge in the future or the existing bully can cease their activities through empathic learning. Simillarly we train the teachers about child friendly way of teaching so that they can stop physical and mental punishment to their students. We will implement this program through our 9 children’s clubs. VIN has already established 9 children’s clubs where over 1700 children are associated. We have been facilitating these clubs for past five years and this project will add a value on the children how they can cooperate each other for making learning congenial.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
There is so much school bullying and child abuse in Nepal. The example of school bullying is harassing girls and weak children by the brilliant and strong ones and the example of child abuse is corporal punishment and sexual abuse by teachers and other people.
To begin with we already have existing nine children clubs and 9 Early Childhood Development Centers (ECD) at all the schools in our target communities. We will start initially with the teachers by training them two things – school bullying and child friendly teaching. In the former issue – school bullying, we will also include the members of our children clubs who will be responsible for creating a drama out of their understanding.
The drama participants will be randomly selected among the schools (the interestred ones) and dramas will be shown in every VDC of our working communities. The ECD centers will periodically be monitored the progress in every schools and trace the changes of our effort. Teachers’ training workshops will create a child friendly teaching learning environment. By this program the participant teachers will be equipped some alternative tools to tackle school bullying and child abuse.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Our primary marketplace includes the school administration, school teachers Government Organizations's like district education office and NGOs like SWISH, CWIN but these organization focus is not on those issues. VIN however is trying to create a congenial teaching learning environment by training teachers, parents, children through training, workshops,, interactions and children’s clubs. We have been conducting various teachers trainings and also setting up child friendly classrooms. If we could add this component we can promote empathy in the schools and communities we work. We have trained human resources to conduct this program but lack enough funds and materials.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
VIN have been able to send 100s of children to main streaming of schooling through its awareness raising, teachers training, school infrastructure development and sponsorship programs. We have also been able to set up and train nine children’s clubs. The clubs have been conducting various activities like conducting before and after school programmes, competitions, community dramas, wall magazines and magazines. The club ideas have been successful to make activities by children and for children. Because of the children’s clubs, 100s of children have developed creativity and life skills. It has helped promote children’s rights in the communities where the stakeholders were not aware about the child rights and there was so much corporal punishments and discriminations between boys and girls.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
The children and teachers will be empathic to the needy children. They will develop friendly learning environment;
The participant teachers will be equipped with child friendly teaching /learning alternatives;
The participant teachers use child friendly teaching learning behaviours in their schools;
All the school stakeholders will respect child rights and can be seen in their practices;
All the participant schools will develop child friendly classrooms;
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The participant community stakeholders cultural and traditional belief maybe obstacle for this program. VIN will mitigate this by launching broad community awareness and empowerment programs. The ONLY way is educating them in child rights and how they can implement them in their behaviour. Our previous experience will help to mitigate this.

Our five years of successful implementation of community empowerment and children’s development, we have felt that if we could implement this program, there will be much respect of child rights in the working communities and schools. All the stakeholders will be taught the right alternative tools to behave child friendly. Our children’s clubs impact is already very good and community have loved it. Adding this component will add a value to the project where children will feel great respect and behave accordingly.
Once we prove this works well, we will organize a national level sharing conference / presentations inviting all related government and NGO stakeholders - with examples of success stories and related organization may replicate the project elsewhere in the countries. We are sure there will be “Aha!” moments.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
We live in a world where most young people have very few outlets to express their unique voice. In schools, communities and society at large they are not treated equally and instead are discriminated against because of their age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, ability, sexual orientation, gender identification, or socioeconomic situation. Despite this, how do we create a space for them that empowers them to make a difference in their own lives and carry that change into the greater community and the broader the world? How do we level the societal playing field?
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Brooklyn Free School (BFS) and its students comprise an environment of unprecedented diversity, students are not segregated by age, sex, or ability, and they are respected for their innate curiosity, empathy, and creativity. They are given the space and trust to direct their own learning through play and exploration, constructivist teaching, collaborative course work, and self-directed student initiatives.
BFS's program is run democratically, with the democratic meeting at its core. Weekly meetings allow for safe environments where students respond to the circumstances of their lives, using tools like the conflict mediation, personal reflection, diversity awareness, and community responsibility to develop empathy and solve individual and community issues in a natural way.
In addition, BFS conducts identity workshops with staff, parents, and students where ideas, thoughts, and feelings are explored and shared.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Dee had been working hard on building her train track for over an hour, and it only took two seconds for Ty, pretending to be a tornado, to wreck it. Dee was upset and she tried to tell Ty, but he said he didn't care. "It was fun being a tornado.", he said. So Dee she called a meeting.
At Brooklyn Free School when an issue arises that cannot be solved by the individual, the individual asks for help. Help can come from peers, small groups or the whole community. During the meeting, students and staff sit in a circle so that everyone can be seen and heard. Dee explained why she called the meeting. Students asked if Ty understood how Dee felt, and they pressed Ty to explain how he would feel if he were in Dee's place. The meeting ended with a suggestion to repair the damage to the tracks together, and this hopefully leads to a more contained tornado next time.
Cooperative play and the space to learn from real situations are such important aspects of BFS, for students of all ages, empathetic reasoning is called upon daily while they learn how to work together and examine how they fit into the school as a larger community. Through these regular interactions, students develop concrete tools that enable them to readily resolve conflicts, both in and out of school.

Manhattan Free School (MFS), GreeneHill School, and Brooklyn Waldorf School are other schools with child-centered curriculum.
Only MFS shares a similar genesis and goals as Brooklyn Free School (BFS). However, BFS is more established and twice the size of MFS and is located a reasonable distance away, so we only compete for students in some areas of NYC that border Brooklyn.
BFS has created a unique niche for itself in terms of a truly diverse school where students are empowered to be themselves, trusted to pursue their interests, and encouraged to solve their problems and those of their community using the democratic process.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our biggest impact is with our over 200 current and former students. Parents comment that their children love school, develop a powerful voice, and learn valuable skills that they use in every aspect of their life. As one young student explained, "although life isn't fair, it doesn't mean that we can't make our school fair."
In order to spread our mission, Brooklyn Free School co-founded the Democratic Education Symposium with Medgar Evers College to create a dialog among parents, students, educators, and community leaders about the role of democracy in education.
Our community has taken trips to other schools, most memorably to Tanzania.
Sparked interest in our program from people worldwide after being featured on This American Life, ep.424:Kid Politics.
We supported the creation and development of Manhattan Free School and Teddy McArdle Free School.
BFS contributed to the creation of the National Association of Democratic Schools and has organized an annual conference.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Brooklyn Free School will continue to grow by expanding to 75 students, incorporating a preschool, and maintaining an after school program that is offered to students not enrolled in BFS.
We will market our unique model of education through educational outreach, producing an annual TEDx event with themes focused on democratic education, offering tours and talks through Meetup.com, and continuing to attend and organize conferences.
BFS will continue to sponsor local events that incorporate the greater community.
We will continue and expand our Intern Program that welcomes students and educators from around the world into the school to learn and participate in democratic education.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The biggest threat to the success of our program is an inability to maintain our diversity. Our diversity is affected by our ability to reach out to potential students and their families, as well as fiscal requirements that tighten our capacity to offer a sliding scale of tuition, allowing Brooklyn Free School to be more accessible to all.
To overcome these potential obstacles, we have employed a Diversity Coordinator who facilitates dialog within the program among students, staff, and parents and assists in the self exploration of our mission. Also, we will generate revenue and supplement our sliding scale tuition through expansion into early childhood education and extended day programs.

What really got me was a story in the New York Times in 2002 that described a student at Sudbury Valley School who went fishing at their pond every day for four years! That made me rethink everything. I began to understand how powerful a school experience would be if students were trusted to pursue their passions with the full support of the teachers and administrators. I imagined a school where students could be respected and supported for who they are and be encouraged to become who they wanted to be. A school where students would build a community together and were given the tools they needed to respect, listen to, and honor each other as individuals, as they figured out how to live and learn together.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
¿Por qué el juicio moral? Por tratarse de esa condición única que tiene cada persona, constituida por sus creencias, intereses, conocimientos, a partir de los cuales toma una postura y emite opiniones o decisiones; desarrollo del juicio moral se relaciona directamente con la empatía como esa capacidad de reconocer la diversidad de opiniones que tienen los demás y relacionarla las suyas. Se recurre a la estrategia de juego de roles, por tratarse de un ejercicio que precisamente se centra en asumir diferentes posturas para reflexionar en torno a cómo los demás vivencian diversas situaciones, generalmente simuladas como conflictos o dilemas.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Se diseñó un escenario diferente al aula escolar, un ambiente virtual donde los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de analizar diferentes situaciones dilemáticas y asumir diferentes roles de acuerdo a sus intereses, libres de cualquier presión social. En el ambiente se recrea la estrategia de juego de roles a partir de diferentes situaciones que implican conflictos cercanos a su realidad cotidiana como el colegio, la familia y los amigos, con el fin de que los estudiantes se sientan identificados y en verdad se realice un excelente ejercicio de reflexión que logre incidir en el desarrollo del juicio moral de los estudiantes y por ende en su grado de empatía.

La interacción en un ambiente computacional que le permite a los estudiantes asumir uno, dos o tres roles, incide directamente en su desarrollo del juicio moral; quienes interactuan con dos roles, alcanzan una mayor evolución en a escala de desarrollo de su jucio moral caracterizada por un más alto nivel de empatía que le permite a los participantes hacer un ejercicio de análisis y reflexión en el cual toman en consideración la postura de los otros y la propia y comprenden cómo sus actos, juicios y opiniones inciden directamente en los actos, juicios y opiniones de las demás personas.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC) is a non-profit civil rights organization dedicated to eradicating housing discrimination. Recent studies by GNOFHAC show that housing discrimination is still a frequent occurrence in the greater New Orleans area. For example a 2007 audit showed a 58% rate of discrimination against African-Americans, and a 2009 audit showed widespread discrimination against people with disabilities. Families with children are particularly vulnerable to discrimination; according to HUD, 1,500 families reported that they were discriminated against on the basis of having children in 2010. Because of these statistics, GNOFHAC seeks an innovative strategy for reaching families with information about fair housing and the impact of discrimination.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Equal Opportunity Game is a tool for educators and advocates that GNOFHAC developed in partnership with schools, community centers, and youth-serving organizations. The game and associated curriculum educate young people about civil rights, the importance of diversity and equal opportunity, and the impact of discrimination. GNOFHAC believes that youth should be educated about housing discrimination so that they may become advocates for equity and watchdogs for injustice in their communities. Because GNOFHAC intends for students to share their experiences of the Equal Opportunity Game with their parents, guardians or teachers, the workshop also functions to educate adults in the community about fair housing rights. Families with children are particularly vulnerable to housing discrimination and are specifically protected under the Fair Housing Act. Thus the Equal Opportunity Game represents an innovative form of outreach to a population deeply affected by discrimination.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
GNOFHAC partners with dozens of educators, schools, youth-serving organizations and advocacy groups to bring the Equal Opportunity Game and its related children's book "The Fair Housing Five & the Haunted House" to youth in New Orleans and as far away as Michigan, Alabama, and Washington, DC. The game is designed to build empathy and cultivate critical thinking about social issues by putting students in the shoes of a person who has experienced the impact of housing discrimination.
In the game, students are assigned characters and must work in teams to find the housing that best meets their characters’ needs. Some of the characters “experience” housing discrimination, and students see the impact discrimination has on access to education, healthcare, jobs, and other resources via “situation cards” that they draw periodically. Students complete journal entries throughout the game to reflect on their experiences. The Equal Opportunity Game builds an appreciation of diversity, and a vocabulary around justice and equity in participating youth. As our next generation of leaders, it is important that youth learn about the impact of discrimination and the importance of equal opportunity at a young age so that they may bring these insights to their communities and work throughout their lives.
GNOFHAC hopes to expand the reach of the project by partnering with schools throughout Louisiana to conduct workshops, as well as by producing copies of the game materials and facilitator guide to distribute to schools and fair housing organizations around the country.

GNOFHAC is part of a national network of fair housing agencies, as well as a community of organizations and educators interested in engaging young people in conversations about justice and equity. Currently, there is a dearth of materials about fair housing and housing discrimination for young people and families. GNOFHAC seeks to fill that void with its Equal Opportunity Game and youth workshops.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since spring, 2010, when GNOFHAC launched its youth outreach project, staff have partnered with 11 (eleven) schools, community centers and youth-serving organizations to conduct 23 (twenty-three) youth workshops. All together approximately 350 (three hundred and fifty) students and their parents or guardians as well as fifteen (15) teachers have been served by GNOFHAC’s civil rights workshops. Students and teachers have attested to the positive and transformative impact on participants. One teacher reflected, "This workshop, superbly designed and executed, prompted challenging discussion and higher level thinking in our classroom community. We have been using themes and lessons learned as a jumping off point for further investigation and as connection to other areas of the curriculum." Students have said, "I loved the board game, because I think that it was an awesome and fun game" and "I learned a lot about fair housing... especially that discrimination needs to be stopped!"
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next 1-3 years, GNOFHAC hopes to expand the reach of the Equal Opportunity Game youth civil rights workshops. By 2015, GNOFHAC will have reached students in all sixty-three (63) New Orleans public schools serving students in grades one through six through workshop facilitation and/or distribution of its children's book "The Fair Housing Five & the Haunted House." In addition, GNOFHAC will develop curricula for high school students about fair housing and begin working in five (5) area high schools. Finally, GNOFHAC will train staff from at least five (5) fair housing agencies around the country to facilitate workshop activities with youth in their districts and build partnerships with local schools.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
GNOFHAC staff have found it challenging to market its youth workshops to public schools and teachers who have limited time for enrichment activities and must connect all curricula to state Grade Level Expectations and testing standards. GNOFHAC will overcome this barrier by developing a set of materials that outline the connections between workshop elements and required curricula. In addition, GNOFHAC staff have built a partnership with Young Audiences, a national organization whose local chapter coordinates extracurricular programming in a number of area schools, and staff will work to build similar relationships with other youth-serving organizations.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
The idea for the Equal Opportunity Game came out of the friendship between a fair housing advocate and a New Orleans teacher. One day at a coffee shop the GNOFHAC staff member was expressing her frustration at the number of housing discrimination complaints received recently from families with children who encountered landlords with formal or informal "no kids" policies. The staff member suggested that there was a need to engage youth in conversations about equal housing opportunity because of the ways in which housing discrimination impacts their quality of life. Meanwhile, the teacher was sharing her interest in implementing a unit on social justice and equity that connected to required English Language Arts and social studies curricula. And thus, a mutually rewarding partnership was born. GNOFHAC partnered with the teacher and her classroom of fourth and fifth grade students to develop the Equal Opportunity Game and implement its flagship workshop in April 2010.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Recent political unrest has caused the number of orphans to spike in the Kathmandu Valley. Adoptions have been halted for years due to growing coercion, trafficking, and corruption of orphans. The number of orphans is increasing as resources are dwindling. Girls are especially vulnerable. Orphanages are mis-managed and under-funded. Often girls and boys at orphanages report being discriminated against in class for being poor or from a certain caste, blamed for stealing things just because they are poor, picked on by teachers for unpaid tuition, and being told they are inferior because they do not have what is considered a ‘traditional’ family. This, of course, adversely impacts their ability to learn and their chances of becoming confident, community leaders.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Theater is essentially the art of empathy. One literally embodies another character to tell their story. Theater is also play, so it a perfect tool with which to engage children to learn and practice empathy, collaboration, leadership, and improvise to problem solve.
By teaching empathy through participatory theater to orphans, we can build confidence and empathy skills that will empower orphans in the face of injustice. By extending our empathy-focused theater curriculum to school children who are peers of orphans, we can cultivate cultural sensitivity and understanding, practice active listening, and develop the psychological skills of putting ourselves in another person’s shoes to understand their worldview.
The workshops will consist of highly interactive workshops in writing, discussing, and playing improvisational theater games. The youth would create and perform theater scenes centered on topics of discrimination, allowing them to build and utilize empathy skills.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
In the process of developing and performing theater in these workshops, participants will develop the abilities to problem solve on their feet, understand other people’s motivations through character analysis, listen, cooperate, build confidence, and, most importantly, develop their ability to empathize.
We will excite and educate participants using simple, fun theater games. Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed envisions theater as a place to practice new ways of thinking that actors can then incorporate into real life. We will use scenarios that address discrimination and bullying based on ethnicity, wealth, family status, etc. The students will improvise different scenarios, experiment with different endings, and use question and answer sessions to understand the motivations of each of the characters. They can then use what they have learned to collectively problem solve and enact the solution.
There will also be a strong writing component based on personal exploration. Participants will begin by writing monologues about themselves. They will also interview a peer and write a monologue from that person’s point of view. Then, the children will write their own short scenes about a conflict and its resolution.
Participants will sign up as directors and actors. In rehearsal, we will play, practice, and discuss how to embody the characters physically and mentally. How does the character move? If they are egotistical, how do they walk? If they are insecure, how do they behave? What is causing them to do this in the scene? Finally, they will perform their scenes.

There do not seem to be any NGOs in Nepal with children focusing on building empathy based on difference. We hope to set a precedent for this kind of work in Nepal in other areas of discrimination (such as gender, lifestyle, etc).
One group in Kathmandu is doing social justice street theater about relevant social issues. They, I believe, would be a potential partner, as we could collaborate to give children training with actors from their company, and perhaps partner to increase the sustainability of and expand the vision of both our projects.
Furthermore, this program is unique to social activist theater programs, which work with adults, not children, and use theater to promote a message, rather than using the process of creating theater to teach participants empathy.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The Kumari Project has provided required school uniforms, textbooks, tuition, and nutrition to over 225 Nepalese orphans. This theater program, however, is still in the concept stage. Our Executive Director has extensive history designing similar empathy-building theater programs, most recently, consulting for Minority Rights Group International's EU-grant funded Street Theatre to Combat Racism Program in four countries. Additionally she wrote about implementing an empathy-based theater project in her Theater Studies Thesis at Yale 'Tibet Imagined: An Exploration of Social Change Theater, Movement, and Empathy Production.'
Using theater and play as a vehicle for children to express themselves and explore other people’s perspectives by creating and writing their own characters will build confidence, critical thinking, problem-solving, team-building, and empathy skills in orphans and non-orphans, creating a more accepting learning environment and growing responsive community leaders.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Within the next year, we expect to pilot this program in four orphanages and three schools, impacting over 210 children (120 orphans). Then, with continued support, we will repeat our program at each orphanage and expand the program to another three schools that orphans attend and four more orphanages. Finally, in the final year, we will expand this program to all eleven orphanages run by the Nepal Children's Organization, and at least one school attended by kids on those orphanages, reaching all 520 kids in the Nepal Children’s Organization’s children’s homes and even more children at schools that orphans attend, cultivating empathy-building skills in all children who participate in the program.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Due to the political instability, there are frequent public transportation and worker strikes and petrol and electricity shortages. By creating a flexible schedule we will be prepared to overcome potential interruptions.
Culturally, Nepalese schools rely on rote memorization. Thus, it might be challenging for children to develop and write scripts from scratch. However, we designed the program to guide them through the creative process, starting with playing theater games and building up to cultivating creative autonomy. Also, bullying and discrimination might be difficult to discuss, so we will present hypothetical scenarios before discussing the personal reality of the scenes and the consequences on people’s feelings and actions. Our Nepali volunteers will translate if needed.

I co-created a writing and performance workshop for young Nepalese immigrant women in Queens. The girls often wrote about fights with their mothers about their lack of freedom and how their mothers did not trust them. Two sisters performed a scene in which the eldest played the mother and the youngest, the daughter. As soon as it was over, the eldest exclaimed, “I understand what our mom went through to get us here [America]. We should be nicer to her.” The two sisters commenced to write and perform a scene portraying how they currently treated their mother and how they wanted to recognize the sacrifices she had made for them and be more respectful in the future. I realized then the power theater has to transform, even more than those who watch it, those who perform it.

The Nepal Children’s Organization (NCO) runs the eleven orphanages with which we will be working. Their staff and orphanage directors have been our long-term partners. The Kumari Project’s executive director was adopted from an NCO orphanage. Mitrataa, an Australian organization managing NCO’s largest orphanage, is a partner of ours, sharing with us best practices for improving the well-being, education, and empowerment of Nepalese orphans. In April, we will begin paying tuition directly to schools. This is when we would start developing the empathy theater program in partnership with schools.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Eight percent of US children (5.9 million total or about 2 children per classroom) have food allergies. With the pervasiveness of this disability comes the urgent need to raise students' awareness and change school culture around food allergies. Food allergies can be life threatening yet are often misunderstood. Students may unintentionally or intentionally exclude children with food allergies, make hurtful comments, and sometimes bully them. In fact, a recent survey by the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute in N.Y. shows that twenty-five percent of children with food allergies are teased, harassed, or bullied. As our 30+ years of experience show, information and empathy training about disabilities in schools can make the difference for many children between stigma and acceptance.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our solution is to provide a 1½-hour educational curriculum unit for elementary school students to teach them about food allergies and how they are managed. The unit uses an informational presentation, guided discussion of a real-life situation that focuses on bullying, and a talk by a guest speaker with food allergies to reduce misunderstandings and teach empathy. Students learn to see others’ perspectives and how their behavior can impact classmates in both positive and negative ways. They also learn how to stand up for a friend and be an ally, as they become aware of the social/emotional, as well as physical, impact of food allergies.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
After an educational presentation about the causes and management of food allergies, the students hear a story, "The Do-Over Birthday Party," about a child who has food allergies and goes to a birthday party, but does not tell anyone about his/her allergies. At the party, the child has no food to eat, is hurt by other children’s comments, and is frightened when one child tries to push allergic food at her. The child has an allergic reaction to this exposure, but does not have medicine to treat the reaction.
Children are shocked and saddened when they hear the story. They are guided to analyze how each person in the story feels and why, so they understand others’ perspectives and can empathize with the student with allergies. Then they problem solve and come up with simple, practical actions that each person, including the person with food allergies, could do differently to make the birthday party successful, inclusive, and safe for everyone.
This curriculum has changed school culture around food allergies. For example, after an allergy awareness program was piloted in a school with a negative culture around food allergies, a child implored her parent to pack a peanut free lunch so she could help a classmate. Students in the school do not bully children with food allergies and are aware of how to be a good friend.

FAAN, a food allergy educational group, has a school allergy program, but does not have an anti-bullying educational component to the program, does not focus on the social/emotional impact on the student or group, and does not focus on food allergies as a community issue. Anaphylactic Canada also has a website of resource information, but does not have an anti-bullying educational component. The website Schools.allergyhome.org was created by Drs. Michael Pistiner (an advisor to our curriculum unit) and John Lee and has a 4 1/2-minute slide show to increase food allergy awareness in the entire school community - including staff, students, and parents - and addresses bullying and increased understanding. In comparison, our program is the most comprehensive school-based resource available.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
This program changes the culture in schools around food allergies. The pilot program has been used in one school for the last 7 years and in all 15 elementary schools in our city for the past year. The curriculum has helped change attitudes, as the schools now embrace food allergies as a community issue and responsibility. For example, parents in the pilot school formerly complained about allergy accommodations, and now it is accepted practice throughout the school. Children want to help and support their classmates with allergic conditions, as they better understand the social/emotional impact of allergies and refrain from bullying.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
• Expand the activity, “The Do-Over Birthday Party,” to include materials describing all of the solutions that students have created.
• Add an additional hands-on activity about label reading in the grocery store, a mandatory task for children with food allergies.
• Add video clips to our Facebook page with messages from older children with food allergies about their life experiences.
• Broaden the message of embracing differences and understanding the impact of our actions for a middle school audience, a vulnerable time for bullying.
• Expand this program to other schools in Massachusetts and beyond, both public and private.

The creation of new materials for the curriculum and Facebook, and expansion into the middle schools with a revised curriculum, will require more funding, and additional time of staff and volunteers. If the unit were to be sold separately from our other curriculum, the proceeds could be used to expand the program. It would also be possible to fundraise specifically for this purpose.

One aha! moment was when a second grader’s parent complained that her child implored her to make a peanut-free lunch after she learned in school about her classmate’s allergy to peanuts. The child got the message that her actions could affect her classmate, who was not even a close friend, and she wanted to help. The child understood this request in terms of being part of a community. Change comes one child at a time.
Another aha moment was when a student speaker with life-threatening allergies shared that even her closest friend remarked in a unkind way,"Wow you are allergic to everything!" The speaker shared that adults don't know what students say to each other about their allergies, and just don't realize this is even an issue - but students with allergic conditions can feel ostracized because of their disability.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
We work with the children of Ledokombo, a poor, remote village in East Java. Poverty has forced the parents of many of these children to go overseas and work as unskilled migrant workers (the village is a prominent source of migrant workers for Middle Eastern countries, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hongkong).
As a result, the children grow up as “social orphans,” lacking care and attention, spending their time on playstation and watching TV or roaming around without appropriate adult supervision. The village community, a majority of whom are ethnic Madurese and are heavily stigmatized as lazy, stubborn, and selfish, is drowning in apathy, losing hope and lacking the spirit to change current conditions.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We believe in children as agents of change, who are able to initiate positive social transformation when they are given the opportunity and space to develop themselves. We also believe that play is a critical element in children's character development. We use traditional games and forms of play as an entry point to introduce various values and skills that will equip the children towards a better future for themselves and their community.
Egrang (traditional stilt walking) is an icon to show how local, traditional 'old' culture can be blended with global international 'new' culture. Playing with egrang together gives the children a means to express themselves and provides them with the opportunity to discuss issues and learn together. In this healthy playing environment, they are also motivated to explore skills in fields as diverse as theatre, art, internet technology, language, and other areas(both academic and non-academic) that will help them to shape their futures.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
We organize regular egrang festivals to celebrate various events, including international holidays and national days. In these events, children are able to express their creativity and get to know other cultures. We invite people representing difference (ethnicity, religion, origin) to serve as judges, providing an opportunity for people-to-people contact for this rural isolated place. The children are introduced to “the world” (beyond their village), and the world becomes aware of this village as a special place. These children represented East Java in the Indonesia's Got Talent show, and media coverage subsequently increased. The children have sparked hope in the community, showing that with some creativity they can change their current conditions.
In the process, the children also realize the importance of learning various skills. We then facilitate a weekly learning group offering courses in math, english, theatre & literature, computer skills, etc. To ensure this change is supported within the community, we also facilitate training for teachers, parents, and preachers, particularly motivational training to change their old mindset.We invite volunteers from various background to share their skills and experience, inspiring the children and opening up interaction with people of different backgrounds. Examples include volunteers from the University of Jember teaching English, teleconferences with Indonesian students studying in Germany, Ashoka Fellow Yohanes Surya’s organization teaching Fun Math, and foreign volunteers communicating in English and Indonesian.

In Ledokombo itself, there are no organisations that provide the sort of out-of-school support that we provide. We work with organisations such as local state schools to show them what programs we can offer the children, and seek to involve other existing community organisations in our activities so that we all benefit and there is no competition between us in terms of helping the children. There are other organisations in the region that are concerned with preserving traditional play, but our organisation is different because we use traditional play to introduce multiculturalism to the children, helping to initiate rural development.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The children have been introduced to ideas to understand difference, express themselves, and remain openminded. E.g. when a volunteer admitted that he had no religion, the children, from strong Islamic background, immediately sought to explore and understand the statement from their and his perspectives without being judgemental or cutting off interaction. Another case is when 2 children from different religions meet, they don't see this as a reason to not interact. Statements like “I'm a catholic, can we play together?” are no longer uncommon.
The children have gained confidence and communication skills. They have performed in national and international events, and had media exposure. The village is catching people’s and government’s attention. Recently Ledokombo was selected as the venue for the Jember Children's Congress. The festivals have become an alternative entertainment where children and youth express their talents, skills, and spread enthusiasm to the whole community.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We believe that people in the village and surrounding areas will become more open for dialogue, participate more directly in democractic processes, and become less divided in term of ethnicity and religion. Tanoker started this process with the children, as a type of laboratory where all kinds of people meet and come together, sharing skills and experience. From this interaction, humanistic values have developed. We project that over the coming years, as more children are involved in Tanoker and more adults are able to see the benefits to their children and community, the positive effects of multiculturalism will lead to increased tolerance and understanding in the village. Further, more children will have the opportunity to develop the skills they need for a better life.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The major barrier we face as an organisation is that we lack a stable source of continuing funding to support the activities we are increasingly developing. Our major challenge is thus to how we can harness the goodwill that exists in the local, national and international community towards our project. We have tried to fund our project from agriculture, but this has not been sustainable. Now we are seeking alternative sources of funds through cooperative partnerships with CSR and philanthropy organisations, and the government. Apart from this, we are currently developing an outward bound package on the basis of traditional games that we will offer to schools. We hope also to develop a creative games industry in Ledokombo, and market traditional cuisine to subsidise our activities.

It started when our family moved to this village. Our kids noticed that play station and TV were the dominant forms of entertainment for the village kids, and were eager to explore traditional games. Their father described the play of his childhood (such as gobak sodor, kelereng/ marbles, etc.) and the kids' choice was egrang, which we decided to make for ourselves. In a village where there is not a lot for children to do, we decided to begin by organizing a couple of small egrang festivals. Following the success of these festivals which attracted a lot of interest from the local community, more and more kids came to play, and it became very popular. This led to the idea we could use egrang to develop more structured programs, introducing multiculturalism and humanistic values, and above all sparking hope among the children that they can improve and transform their village, tackling poverty, and combatting negative stereotypes.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Researchers and educators alike have long recognized the power of play for early childhood development. Article 31 in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child even acknowledges a child’s right “to engage in play.” The fact that so many of us, as adults, can still recall such pleasurable playground experiences as winning a race or going down a slide only underscores the meaningful impact play has on our lives. During my visit to Bangladesh, I was amazed by how children were able to amuse themselves in such hazardous conditions: rummaging through piles of paper trash and walking on top of PVC pipes, among other things. It showed me not only the remarkable ability of children to adapt their play to immediate surroundings, but also the urgent need for safe spaces to play.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
the goal of this project is to create safe environments for underprivileged children to play. The program will start small, building a playground in one or two villages. The key here is that a playground will only be constructed in a village where a primary school is already in place. Ideally, the playground would be placed next to the school. One community member will be trained on playground planning, design, building and maintenance. She will act as the playground project manager. The manager will then go back to her village and meet with the parents and adults of her community to discuss playground designs. She will then split the parents into groups and assign each group a task in the building process. The entire process from conception to construction will take roughly 2-3 weeks, with a total budget set at $2000. My project team will visit the site each day of construction to carefully monitor and offer needed advice. Weekly maintenance check ups will be administered as well.

This project helps children reach their full potential. Play is inherently self-directed; so by building playgrounds, a sense of self-reliance and self-confidence will be cultivated in underprivileged children. This is especially true for girls, since playgrounds know no gender. Involving parents in every step of the process serves numerous functions. For example, coming from the community they often know what materials are available for use. Parents are also more likely to become advocates of play after seeing the project from start to finish. Since playgrounds will be primarily built next to existing schools, the project also has the potential to increase student enrollment rates and/or decrease dropout rates. The fact that members of the community will be leading the project ensures the long-term sustainability of the project by promoting commitment to the playgrounds and ensuring that the playgrounds are only built from materials that are locally available.

The main organizations that are currently pursuing similar work are KaBOOM! and Playground Ideas. However, unlike KaBOOM! that focuses on US playground construction initiatives, our project will be based in Bangladesh, a developing country that differs greatly economically, politically, socially, and culturally to the United States. Playground Ideas is a great organization that disseminates playground construction materials and instruction. However, they do not directly take on construction themselves. Our project might use some of the materials offered by their organization, but we will ultimately also be traveling to the foreign country to research, plan, organize, implement and evaluate.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Research has confirmed that academic grades are a poor predictor of success as an adult. The ability to work with others, risk failure and manage emotions are much more important in the long run.Children and teens with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Asperger's Disorder, High Functioning autism and a variety of other emotional problems fail to function interpersonally and properly understand empathy and social cues. Quest Therapeutic Camp's program has been demonstrated to improve these children's ability to better understand themselves and others and manage feelings.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Quest Therapeutic Camps has developed an 8-week intensive summer day camp and 2-hour/week Afterschool program that combines a neuro-cognitive and congitive behavioral approach that provides therapeutic intervention while problems are occurring. Counselors have been trained to teach children specific coping skills by identifying individual needs, teaching alternative coping and social reasoning skills and encouraging children to try new behaviors for success. This is combined with a daily group therapy program including both discussion and therapeutic activities to facilitate growth. The program teaches understanding and empathy for others through interaction, learning mentoring skills and participating in community projects. Parents are integrated into the program identifying goals for home and learning specific intervention strategies to assist coping.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
A 13-year old boy with Asperger's Disorder avoids all social contact at school, fails to achieve academically because his obsessive interests interfere with his ability to complete assignments that are not of interest and erupts angrily when family tries to engage him socially. Upon referral, this boy is screened by the director-therapist and provides motivation to engage the child in the summer program. The boy is resistant and fearful. He is unwilling to commit but agrees to try the program for a week. Upon arrival to Quest, he is immediately greeted by his assigned counselor who introduces him to others in his group and who have similar issues. During the first day at Quest, he will participate in an orientation hour to learn about others, participate in another hour activity where competition is reduced and success is increased by individualizing the game for the specific group. The child will then participate in a group therapy exercise to gain greater awareness of social cues and emotional coping issues. Each hour of every day, the camper receives positive feedback about their effort, direction for improvement and points for Store. Parents have also provided daily feedback and points and at the end of the week, the camper is able to use points to purchase toys. While initially being the primary motivator, self-improvement and success replace the importance of material goods. With a safe environment, this camper learns that life isn't fair (but still worthwhile) and that failing is part of the learning process. Afterschool programs run to promote this progress.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are very few programs like Quest. A few have been developed based on the National Institute of Mental Health Multimodal Study of ADHD research but these include an academic component. William Pelham, Ph.D. has developed a model that is being used but there is not a cohesive organization and training program that Quest has. Currently, Quest has 6 programs in the US with goals for at least three new campers per year. All staff receives the standardized training and works within the model found to have a "strong treatment effect". If Dr. Pelham developed a comprehensive organization and standardized his program procedures with ongoing research, there could be greater competition for this type of program. With 1 in 4 children with significant emotional problems, there is plenty of need.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Over the past 22 years, hundreds of children attend Quest Therapeutic Camps' summer and Afterschool programs. We have been able to help children and teens with mental health problems function better at school, in their community and at home. Several school districts in the SF Bay area and the Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities have contracted to have their children attend.In 2011, Travis Air Force Base provided 16 special needs children scholarships to the Quest program. These children, found to be at high risk associated with their disorders, frequent moves and parents' deployment found new hope for success and satisfaction based on their participation. This year, Travis is hoping to double the amount who can attend.Utilizing the Quest program teaches children that while life is not fair, they can still have a happy life and accomplish their goals.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We hope to triple the amount of children who can attend Quest programs. Through expansion to different parts of the country, Quest is giving opportunity for more families to benefit from the therapeutic program. We also are focused on working more closely with school districts for the Extended School Year programs and insurance companies to reimburse families for our treatment. With our initial success with military families, we are looking to build closer relationships to assist the many children who struggle while their parents are enlisted. While the model is therapeutic, it's benefit is not limited to those with emotional problems. We would like to expand to working with all children who could learn better coping skills.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Funding has limited availability to children in need. Through our relationship with the American Camp Association, we have been able to start a scholarship fund. We are working to develop a strong fundraising arm to provide Quest to families who are unable to afford it. We also want to work more closely with medical insurance companies and state agencies to educate them about the value of providing this early to children in need instead of finding more serious problems later on.

During five summers of working at an overnight camp I saw the benefit regular camp provided for those who attended. As a child psychologist, I have always worked in groups and found that watching boys at play was more helpful than seeing them one-on-one in my office.Since so many problems occur in interaction, I thought if it would be possible to integrate the summer camp model with the therapeutic techniques I was trained to use. A local private boarding school had no activities there during the summer so I began the program there with 20 kids each week. Combining camp activities provided the opportunity to see problems in action. Creating interventions while they happened was so effective. I then integrated these concepts in group therapy along with concrete techniques of educating about emotional and social reasoning. When research found a "strong treatment effect" it finally verified Quest's powerful therapeutic effect and encouraged me to expand.

We have developed our program in Pittsburgh, Pa. with a nonprofit, Squirrel Hill Psychological Services, a component of Jewish Family and Children Services. We are looking to expand these relationships throughout the country since we are able to provide funds to the agency that can be used for the therapy director and other services.We have also worked closely with George Washington University School of Professional Psychology to provide training opportunities for their students. We look forward to increasing formal relationships with other graduate schools.
¿Qué tipo de equipo (personal, voluntarios, etc.) te asegurará que logres las metas de crecimiento identificadas en la sección de Impacto social/i>?
Quest seeks experienced licensed child therapists to join our team. We look to each area for those best suited by experience and training and employ them. As we grow, we will recruit fund raisers, support staff and more non-therapists to assist. Our counselors are part-time employees during the school year and full time during the summer. This group typically includes graduate students, upper division college students and teachers.

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
¿Hace cuánto que viene operando tu organización?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The problem of less realism in helping children and students learn in schools. Children are taught basically using written notes with no audio-visual (Audio and motion picture|) references. Many schools concentrate on their students only getting the right grades and nothing beyond that. Little concentration is paid to how they will apply their knowledge because of the less practical nature of the education system. Personal attachment to topics taught is not created for the students. And I have seen no significant and direct effort to promote empathy in my Uganda not even in communities.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
My solution is to first of all promote empathy practice to the children’s education stakeholders because there has been little done in my country/community. This is to primarily target children in schools, teachers and education system decision makers through outreach activities. This will be implemented through envisaging audio-visual communication platforms that activate empathy to empower teachers and children. School are a very strategic setting because you meet young people in an organised environment.
The above will be supported through Increasing Education system policy Advocacy activities to integrate teaching and promoting empathy in the national education system. I emphasize promoting and advocacy because this a unique project/subject which the target beneficiaries and stakeholders are not accustomed to.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
By establishing an empathy resource centre, I will primarily focus on building partnerships with schools. These will lead to formation of school empathy clubs with teachers being patrons to achieve acceptability and sustainability.
Promoting teaching using video and audio documentary references to schools will enhance the children’s capacity to put themselves in situations shown in videos thus promoting empathy.
Through the empathy clubs, inter schools’ empathy debate competitions will be run to create further understanding of empathy in primary and secondary schools.
This will be coupled with building a web broadcasting platform for children and teachers to share ideas on activating empathy. Video, audio, photos and texts can be shared on this platform to increase occurrences of children putting themselves in others situations. It will also facilitate feedback from school patrons which will be used by policy makers.
I’ll exploit Mobile cinema which is appealing to children. Situational films will be used and empathy promotional materials shown in intervals. This will enhance interest during the empathy activation and introduction days in schools.
Lobbying policymakers for curriculum mitigation to integrate empathy activation at primary and secondary schools will as well be integral to this project.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
My peers include; community humanitarian workers, school teachers, Day care workers and parents, sports men, people in the music and film production business, actors and musicians and so many more.
Ideally, I have no competitors because I have no knowledge of any project that promotes empathy in schools in my country not even at community level. This is a pioneer project and it’s most likely the first in Uganda. My potential competitors could only be entities running entertainment and behaviour change projects in schools.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
As mentioned in the above sections this project is in the start-up phase. The expected impact includes:-
• An active network of empathy promoters and experts sustained through partnerships with schools.
• Functional empathy clubs existing in schools.
• Increased teaching using video and audio documentary references promotion empathy.
• Increased understanding of empathy by teachers, children and other teaching stakeholders
• The project activities will enhance action by education policy maker to include empathy teaching in schools’ curricula
• Children will share experiences and knowledge about empathy with the wider community
• I expect to cover 108 schools in the first year reaching a minimum of 108,000 children and 2160 teachers. This be done at national level with schools selected from all regions

• Increased practice of empathy.
• Increased teaching using video and audio documentary references promotion empathy.
• Increased understanding of empathy by teachers, children and other teaching stakeholders
• Mitigated education policy on empathy in schools teaching curricula
• Significant understanding and practicing of empathy among children and the general community (holistic)
• I expect to cover 324 schools in the first year reaching a minimum of 324,000 children and 6480 teachers.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Understanding empathy beyond the dictionary definition will be the first challenge that. I will overcome this through running induction meetings about the subject matter prior to the activation days and being elaborative and illustrative during the school empathy activation days.
Getting the children interested in issues of empathy. I will overcome this by including an entertainment component (mobile cinema with a performing artist) during the activation activities.
Fitting into the schools programs will be another challenge. This will be overcome by prior liaison with all stakeholders including the school leaders.

This comes from an incident when I was capturing video material about stone quarry activities for a client. I was touched by the number of children below the age of 15 working there (child labour) when actually they were meant to be in school. Some were with their own mothers and others brought from different villages. On asking why it was this way, the children were not given the chance to answer but the old people said ‘‘they are looking for school fees’’. This was a lie because it was school time. I realised that empathy is needed here starting by primarily beginning with fellow children who are in school to share a situations of fellow children. They can become ambassadors for change

This project is designed to shrive on partnerships and collaborations that achieve beneficiary and stakeholder ownership in all phases of implementation. Partnerships with schools being the where the main activations will take place are the major. The other partnerships include those with corporate advertisers, charities, district and national education offices, fiscal sponsors and media houses. The partnerships are meant to achieve smooth implementation and sustainability of the project.

I plan to maintain a small but efficient project team/staff. The aspects that I will put emphasis on are the administration and experience in working with children and schools. A staff of four full time members will be enough though volunteers will be invited in different capacities such as monitoring activities and guest speakers. Freelance workers such as camera men will also be invited during the school empathy activation days.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
As Arab nations undergo revolutionary change, a new generation of leaders who can balance political and economic reforms with religious and cultural values are vital to a stable future. However, as Jordan’s Queen Rania said in a 2009 CNN interview, “In the Arab World we still focus too much on rote learning…we teach children what to think rather than how to think.” Attitudes of empathy and respect for differing opinions remain vital and elusive outcomes of education. And in a traditionally hierarchical society, convincing young people that they can be changemakers is an ongoing challenge. Though school enrollment is increasing, the quality of education in Arab nations is still inadequate to equip youth to be the problem solvers of tomorrow (AHDR 2002).
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Think Unlimited works to educate a new generation of leaders by training not only youth, but their parents and teachers as well. We offer three programs:
Brain Camp is a 6-day summer camp that alters students’ perceptions about their abilities, and the role of education in their lives. Our original curriculum teaches core critical thinking and perspective-taking skills in a culturally-sensitive way, and inspires youth to use these skills to solve problems and improve their communities.
Brain Builders is a semester-long afterschool program facilitated by local teachers. Through our extensive training and support, teachers gain valuable insights into inductive teaching methods, effective ways to change students’ attitudes about education, and the role games and activities play in the learning process.
Minds in the Making is a course empowering parents to become proactive co-educators, and giving them tools to encourage social and intellectual development in the home.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
At Think Unlimited, we believe that the most valuable resources any school can possess are the minds of its teachers and students, all too often ignored in the race for modern technologies and tools. We build schools from within by equipping students and teachers to think critically, think creatively, and use the power of their minds to create change. Because the national curriculum in Jordan focuses on fact-based rote learning, students lack practical skills and real-world experiences that pave the way for their using education to create change. We fill in these gaps through extracurricular activities.
Our after school program consists of 10 modules, each building a key critical thinking skill:
Mindset and attitudes about learning
Understanding information
Organization
Reasoning
Strategy
Decision Making
Opinion Formation
Perspective Taking
Creativity
Problem Solving
Each module is taught through interactive, culturally-sensitive powerpoint discussions, followed by games and activities that allow students to practice and build upon what they have learned. At the end of each module students are asked to reflect upon how they can use their toolkit of skills to improve their own lives and the futures of their families, communities, and country.
As products of the same broken educational system, teachers and parents themselves often lack these skills and the motivation to turn outward to create change. By training parents to teach these skills at home, and training teachers to implement the afterschool program, we aim for intergenerational change.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Building employment skills and “job readiness” is a common approach to educational interventions in the Arab world, led by organizations like INJAZ, the Jordan Education Initiative, and CADER. However, framing education programs in this way narrows the vision of students, further entrenching the idea that education is simply a means to an economic end. Think Unlimited equips students with skills that prepare them to be innovators and problem solvers in whatever sector or pursuit they choose, and turns their focus outward toward improving their communities.
Because they are so well-funded and well-established, and their goals align with the powerful private sector, these organizations often leave little room for a fresh take on enrichment programs in schools. But our niche is growing!

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We originally developed our programs as Peace Corps volunteers in Jordan. During our two years of service, over 600 students participated in Brain Camp programs in under-resourced villages all over Jordan. After completing Peace Corps service in August 2011, we began working full-time to build Think Unlimited, which we incorporated in October 2011. Since then, we have trained 24 teachers and 8 administrators who are implementing the Brain Builders after school program with approximately 150 students this semester.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
With our local partner, and over the next 2 years, we plan to train 250 public school teachers to implement the Brain Builders after school program. If each teacher implements for a minimum of two semesters, over 3,000 students will be reached. But training local teachers makes the program sustainable and unlimitedly replicable.
We currently have funds to offer our Minds in the Making parenting class to 200 parents this year. If our model proves viable, and if we are able to train additional trainers, we should be able to reach at least 500 parents per year over the next two years, impacting roughly 1200 parents and thereby 4,500 children.
We are currently training a new class of 30 Peace Corps volunteers to implement Brain Camps, which we believe will impact 600 students per year
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Our biggest obstacle so far has been limited manpower. We have been amazed at how much work is involved in keeping administrative fires burning, raising funds, and making sure we’re making careful, considered decisions about management and strategy—all while trying to implement and evaluate our programs! We worry about finding the right people to bring on, given the limited exposure most Jordanians have to the type of work we are doing. We also need team members who share our commitment to quality, in-depth programming and real results. We have begun to nurture program graduates to become capable staff members, giving them a chance to put their skills into action. If successful, this will not only solve our recruiting challenge, but would add another layer of impact to our work.

If we had to identify the single factor that has enabled us to thrive, it would be education. Hoping to offer others what education gave to us, we joined Peace Corps Jordan. As educators in villages we immediately saw how a lack of critical thinking skills and empowerment was limiting our students’ potential. Though we developed Brain Camp as an academic enrichment program, we quickly began seeing its impact beyond the classroom. When a 16-year old girl in our village used the skills she learned at camp to design, initiate, and lead a club for other girls, we knew that building minds could promote empathy and create lasting change, and that our work in the Arab world was just beginning. After Peace Corps we founded Think Unlimited to continue empowering youth be change makers. Our passion for building minds in this part of the world has only grown as we have watched the Arab Spring unfold. In the Middle East, education will almost certainly be the pivot point on which the future turns.

For each of our three programs we have one key local partner.
Brain Camp: Through Peace Corps we train volunteers living in under-resourced villages throughout Jordan to implement free summer camps at public schools and public youth centers.
Brain Builders: We partner with Madrasati, a royal NGO, to train teachers in public schools. They interface with the Ministry of Education to broker permissions, and they fund the trainings and materials provided to teachers.
Minds in the Making: We offer parent training jointly with We Love Reading, a Jordanian NGO, who recruits groups of mothers

We are currently an administrative staff of two (a husband and wife team who are co-founders and co-directors). We are quickly moving toward needing three additional staff members, one to run each program. This will free us up to focus on longterm strategy, brokering partnerships, and finding ways to meet our fundraising needs.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Teachers, and therefore classrooms, are often in isolated working conditions. This can create job dissatisfaction, loneliness, feelings of futility, frustration and disconnect with the larger world while working in the day-to-day classroom. Teachers are rarely, if ever, given the opportunity to network, share and meet with others outside of their zones of proximity during conferences or other Professional Development opportunities. While teachers are constantly fostering relationships among children and parents, who fosters relationships between teachers? If teachers don't network and build friendships and relationships globally, how can they teach students to be global citizens?
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
#Kinderchat is an online Global weekly meeting of Early Childhood Educators. Our goal is to “Create Community among Kindergarten and Early Childhood Professionals”. We meet online each week to discuss topics ranging from where to watch the eagle’s nest on animal cams to sharing funny stories of a recent glitter or paint disaster in the classroom. We share blogs, resources, successes and sorrows. We offer a safe place for Administrators, Policy Makers, Educators and Parents to meet together to share in the unique joys and difficulties that are Early Childhood. This formation of community and conversation has directly led to classrooms becoming connected through multiple teacher-led and teacher-created projects, which have, in turn, further strengthened teacher relationships and sense of global community and connection.

Our weekly meetings inspire in multiple ways. For the #Kinderchat newbie: “It is so neat to laugh and learn with other Kindergarten Teachers” to the realization we are a global community, “You go snowshoeing during the school day?” Frequent community members are now coordinating and designing projects under the network umbrella. The end result is we have five and six year old children in Texas, USA teaching children in British Columbia, Canada about armadillos and children in Texas fighting over who gets to read the books about Canada first. The formation of community and network among Early Childhood Educators directly impacts student learning and outcomes in the classroom as well as develops a sense in the child, very early on, that they are a member of a worldwide community of children.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children focuses on publications, policy and conferences on a large scale within the US. Organizations such as the Fred Rogers Center support work in media. As foundations, businesses and consultants have increased access to monies and support, for-profit organizations could eventually overshadow our teacher-founded community. While there are numerous ProD conference opportunities, none I am aware of are focused on global community, connection and teacher and classroom development in quite the same way. We are truly unique in that we are a real community of educators.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
I can say with one hundred percent certainty that the #Kinderchat Network of connected teachers and classrooms have each undergone dramatic transformation. Children in Canada suddenly wished for their friends in Indonesia to come to their houses to be safe after the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. Five year olds in New Jersey refer to children in Egypt as "Play Partners". #Kinderchat teachers and classrooms have most certainly developed a genuine empathy, new knowledge and unique perspective of the world's children as "friend".
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Projected impact varies from continuing to develop teacher leaders to furthering the Global connection among classrooms. We continually support, share and highlight the importance of Play in Early Childhood classrooms as good practice and to continue to discuss best practices in teaching and working with Young Children. To certify, support and develop the identity and unique qualities of a #Kinderchat classroom. Eventually we aim to launch campaigns that connect and affect more impoverished children so as to help develop and grow programs of a large scale social consciousness and action among the world's smallest people.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Teachers have limited resources, time and are often required to complete pre-set and determined curriculums. Through dialogue, we foster the connection among teachers on both ends of the spectrum- from well funded, independent-of-regulation private school teachers talking with urban under-funded and highly regulated teachers automatically creates empathy and a deeper understanding of others limitations or lack thereof. Through friendship, network and connection, teachers know they are not alone and can search out projects that best suit their needs. In this way, we create connection despite barrier of time, location or resource. Each time we empower a teacher, we empower classrooms of children.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
The experience of #Kinderchat provides continually evolving, almost daily "Aha!" moments. Truly, the #Kinderchat experience can best be described as an awakening. From the very first chat where we realized we were Early Childhood Professionals from all over the globe, ("A map! We need a map!" then, "Ok, how do we make a map?") to the moment a teacher in BC, Canada shared her story of a child who is reluctant to speak in class spoke to children in Washington through the skypeplay project, the knowledge, weight and excitement at being at the forefront of this new system of learning is not only transformational, but extremely humbling. I firmly believe #Kinderchat can make the world a kinder, gentler, more fun, forgiving and joyful place to live. What would the world look like if it were ruled by the mores of children? Play, snack, learning, sharing, "Look! A giraffe!", kindness, wonder, sorrows, sweetness and joy. "Kinderchat: Taking over the World, One Kindergarten Teacher at a Time"

We are a Project Based community- meaning our primary members host or mangage specific projects under the #Kinderchat umbrella. We have no formal outside partnerships or support. There are tentative and in-process plans for an academic publication. In addition, we are extremely grateful to iEARNUSA for their continued support and mentoring.
¿Qué tipo de equipo (personal, voluntarios, etc.) te asegurará que logres las metas de crecimiento identificadas en la sección de Impacto social/i>?
As community members become more active and known throughout the Network, they either volunteer for or invent projects to host and manage under the #Kinderchat host Network. These projects, in turn, grow the network as well as the teacher leader. This continual exchange and ongoing dialogue between teacher, children, classroom, project, process, community, policy, publishing leads to renewal and endless exploration and leadership opportunities for educators.

As a Network of Educators, we have unique knowledge of what works best and what is needed within classrooms. We know and can facilitate integration as well as speak to the needs of educators. Where we lack experience is at the legal levels and where to find monies and business models to both support and maintain the integrity of the work.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Para los niños, jugar es la actividad más importante. Así, desarrollan destrezas, estimulan su imaginación y creatividad, expresan sentimientos,
construyen su lenguaje, etc.
Los niños con discapacidad, necesitan del juego tanto o más que el resto. Las adquisiciones que pueden lograr con él, pueden resultar aún más significativas.
Sin embargo, la mayoría de los juguetes que existen, no tienen diseño universal.
En el caso de los niños con discapacidad visual, las posibilidades de jugar con juguetes son mas limitadas debido a que la mayoría de ellos , basan su atractivo en aspectos visuales
Asimismo, la oferta de materiales didácticos, y en especial de aquellos destinados al aprendizaje del sistema Braille es insuficiente, por lo que, deben ser elaborados artesanal y precariamente
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
En 2002, diseñé un muñeco para el aprendizaje del Braille.
Participé con él en un Concurso español, resulté ganadora y luego el muñeco fue fabricado en China, a solicitud de los organizadores
El muñeco fabricado, es similar a mi prototipo, pero ha sufrido una modificación muy importante desde el punto de vista didáctico.
Se le ha incorporado un sofisticado mecanismo que beneficia el aprendizaje del sistema Braille, a través de una maquina de escribir, cuyo costo asciende a unos 1500 dólares.
Mi muñeco en cambio, fue pensado para auxiliar a docentes y padres en el aprendizaje del sistema Braille con un económico equipo constituido por una pizarra y un punzon cuyo costo es de 15 dolares, que por otra parte, es el equipo utilizado en las regiones económicamente mas pobres.
Los niños que deban entrenarse en el uso del Braille como sistema de comunicación escrita, podrán hacerlo a través de un elemento didáctico que responde a su necesidad de aprender y a su deseo de jugar
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
La carencia de materiales didácticos que atiendan tanto la necesidad de los niños ciegos de aprender el Sistema Braille, como la de jugar y divertirse, como cualquier otro niño, trae como consecuencia que los elementos en general utilizados para la enseñanza del sistema braille, y su trabajo previo de aprestamiento, se realice con materiales de escasa calidad, y de casi nulo interés para los niños pequeños. Asi encontramos “juguetes” toscos de madera sin ningún significado para los niños, o elementos de fabricación casera que no resisten el uso prolongado, y el tacto “activo” de los aprendices…
El muñeco Braillin, que propongo, puede ser utilizado desde muy temprana edad.
Su uso:
Mejora el desarrollo sensorial a través de la manipulación de diferentes texturas Contribuye al dominio del esquema corporal
Contribuye a adquirir nociones espaciales (arriba, abajo, izquierda, derecha, etc) previas al aprendizaje del Braille y matemáticas: (numeración del 1 al 6)
Facilita el aprendizaje de las letras del sistema Braille.
Contribuye al desarrollo del lenguaje, de la expresión y la comunicación con sus pares independientemente de la capacidad visual, través del juego simbólico
Promueve la incorporación de situaciones lúdicas en contextos de aprendizaje
Fortalece la afectividad y la autoestima de los niños con discapacidad visual
Promueve la aceptación de la diversidad
Contribuye a la formación de conductas solidarias y cooperativas
Promueve el conocimiento del sistema de Lectura y escritura Braille, entre los niños con visión.

En la actualidad, no existen prácticamente empresas dedicadas a la fabricación de juguetes de diseño universal.
El muñeco Braillin, ha sido fabricado en China, sobre la idea que presenté al concurso.
Actualmente, debido a que la cantidad establecida para su fabricación ya ha sido terminada, no hay quien los fabrique.
Además, los motivos didácticos que ya mencioné y los elevados costos de transporte y gastos de importación lo convierten en un elemento de muy difícil acceso a los niños de Latinoamerica
