As part of our collaboration with EDUCO and the Fundación Centro de Cultura Popular (FCCP) we have started our Digital Facilitator training as part of the planned implementation of Dispurse Literacy Program aimed at low literate mothers in Bolivia.
The digital facilitator training is modular which makes it possible for us to tailor the training according to each of our allies and their needs. The training starts with an introduction of the Dispurse approach to adult literacy development based on the resource perspective, which is at the core of all the teaching we offer.
Using our training portal and through virtual sessions, facilitators, key to the success of the program, are receiving comprehensive training to ensure effective implementation of the FOCUS application and other educational materials.
The literacy program, which will begin on June 17, will involve 25 women, who will receive basic literacy training that is functional, digital and critical, with the goal of significantly improving the lives of themselves, their families and their community.
This joint effort with EDUCO and FCCP is an important step towards our mission to bring education to where it is most needed and to contribute to the eradication of poverty in the world.
The event organized by Es Hoy, DVV International and Dispurse Foundation highlighted the joint efforts of companies, municipalities, educational institutions and civil society to close the educational gaps in youth and adults. In a context where 1 in 3 people in Peru have not completed their basic education, this event highlighted the importance of education as a tool for transformation.
In commemoration of International Literacy Day, Dispurse Foundation joined the awareness parade held in the city of Cajamarca. This event brought together students, teachers, organizations and local authorities to highlight the importance of literacy in personal and community development.
