This new initiative attracted 5 schools in
Mutolere to work and learn together in order to improve the education system in
Uganda and stimulate and motivate
students to become valuable members of our community and carry ownership and
entrepreneurship for the future of the community and their own wellbeing.
The main topics focus focussed
on were Talent development by students, communication between teachers and
students to gain more involvement, participation and ownership of the own
learning process of students, creative thinking (focussing on problem solving
and gaining new ideas), Active learning, Reflection, implementation of
educational reforming plans, multiple intelligence, differentiation in the
classroom, cooperative learning and Shooting a documentary of this whole
process of learning during M.E.E.T.
The opening ceremony was at St. Pauls SS from 2
pm –3 pm. After the opening ceremony the facilitators introduced the program to
the participants.
It was an
ambitious programme: with 5 schools in the district of different denominations
and a mix of students and teachers work together on their own by a group.
This exercise was very unique, well received and participants were very engaged.
