Da Escola para o Mundo

"Da Escola para o Mundo - Agir, Atua, Transformar" (From School to the World - Act, Include, Transform) was a Citizenship Education Action Plan developed by AIDGLOBAL in partnership with Professor Francisco Freitas Branco Basic and Secondary School, Porto Santo for a fairer and more sustainable future. 

This Action Plan was primarily aimed at students from four Year 8 classes (2019/2020) and was meanted to accompany these young people over two school years. Although the focus was on the 3rd cycle, the Plan extended to the entire school and the local community.

It was part of the National Strategy of Education for Citizenship and has the support of many entities, among them Fundação Gonçalo da Silveira and the Catholic University of Porto within the scope of the “Cidadãos Ativ@s” program.

WHY
?

This Action Plan was a response to the School's Educational Project which contributed to some goals, including:
  1. Increase practical/experimental activities aiming at creative and active learning;
  2. Increase the number of contacts established with parents/guardians who demonstrated their participation in the school life of their students and in the activities promoted by the school;
  3. Foster the assumption of shared responsibilities in order to promote an environment conducive to the full participation of the entire community in the educational process;
  4. Maintain or increase the number of activities/projects with local/regional/national institutions and increase the number of partnerships;
  5. Adapt innovative projects and strategies to promote students' educational success.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
