Primary School and Kindergarten as Society Builders
The MOT Programme Primary School and Kindergarten as Society Builders was established to create a common understanding in the local communities about the importance of adults’ engagement and behaviour towards children. When children experience quality of life, excitement, meaningful activities, great experiences, community, networks and social support, the local community will appear as a protector that works against social problems. Adults, as responsible culture builders, can contribute to create platforms of mastery and inclusion in their local communities. Adults can be role models who change lives.
Objective: Collective responsibility to develop children’s robustness and mastery of life.
Exclusion can have massive consequences for local communities and for the world. MOT wants to strengthen a common understanding and foundation of values among adults working closely with children.
