OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of ecl is to act as a catalyst to help enhance emotional well-being, unleash joy in learning, and restore creative capacity in children and young people in schools and communities throughout South Africa.
We know that a more inclusive approach is needed in education and we believe that an ecl approach can be of benefit to children, young people and their communities. It is our intention to enable the spread of practice to schools and communities, carried by skilled people passionate about the real meaning of great education, passionate about the possibility that education can release the creative intelligence of children and young people and passionate that in so doing we touch not just the children, but the whole community.
OUR STRATEGY - HAND IN HAND
The ecl co-creative approach has led to the development of a wide range of creative frameworks and practical tools. Each designed to enhance the practice of parents, teachers, leaders and policy makers as they strive to find fresh answers to the questions that challenge them about supporting children and young people to shape their futures.
Some examples are ecl trainings to skill teachers, leaders, care-givers and parents; the SparkCatching workshops for school leaders; equip, a school peer mentoring methodology; creAte, a powerful approach to coaching and BreathingSpace circles for parents.
