The REsignificance from childhood

The educational kits aim, through the application of Scholas pedagogy, to focus on the socio-emotional health of the beneficiaries through the perspective of their return and the rediscovery of childhood.
In a world that so often demands from an early age that they be adults, that they "behave" as such and that they "show" it, this educational proposal is an invitation to boys and girls of different origins to meet, inhabit time and the world of childhood, to rediscover the world around them.
Young Panamanians lived a training experience in the language and pedagogical intuition of Scholas, after developing the themes and activities, the material was implemented in the town of Curundú, El Chorrillo, as well as in the province of Colón, focused on boys and girls of 7 to 12 years.
Six editions were made, each of them addresses a topic from Scholas' three educational languages (art, play and thought).

We invite you to be part of this proposal by downloading the material.

Each kit contains:

Foldable (for the child).

The senses

They are the sensations (perceptions) that allow us to understand what is happening around us, such as heat and cold, soft and hard, sweet and bitter; but it is also that which relates us to beauty, nostalgia, mystery, etc.

Dreams

They are that preview of reality, that channel that we open to make way for what we are not yet. To dream is to let life grow above us, to shout into the void and wait: it will be the absence of the echo that will lead us to jump.

The here and now

It is one of the many ways in which we relate to our daily lives, to our daily routine, to duties and responsibilities, to timed time, to time as opportunity, and to time and its intensity.

The only

That which I dare to show, to embody, because in front of me there is someone who does not doubt what is mine but rather confirms me: accepts me.

What surrounds me

It can be those common places such as the neighborhood, the park, school, friends and family, (it is everything that is not me) and which creates a sense of belonging, our sense of roots, our feeling of "being at home." » within the city that contains us and unites us.

Memories

Having childhood memories is important for simple, everyday reasons. It is during those times that we live our first experiences, the good and the bad, that remain engraved in our memory.
