ℹ️ Additional information
The Art Literacy Project for Children in the City of Maputo is an international volunteering initiative that uses art as an educational tool to promote creativity, expression, critical thinking and social inclusion. The project offers playful and pedagogical artistic activities adapted to the local context, while also encouraging intercultural exchange between volunteers and the community. More than teaching artistic techniques, the initiative seeks to strengthen children's self-esteem and contribute to a more creative, conscious and transformative education.
The project will focus on participatory and gender-inclusive planning during the fieldwork. About fifteen to twenty volunteers will join in the learning. In the execution of the project, men and women will have the capacity to produce beds, prepare and work the land through techniques used in Agriculture.
