Successful start

With CIDE (School of Education, National Univ.)

The two-year campaign is now underway! IBREA delivered the initial Brain Education training to teachers working at a constructivist school dedicated to peace and social justice in a local community on the outskirts of San Jose; rural community members in Sarapiqui; as well as college students studying to become special education teachers.

As participants become experts in the program, they will become more responsive to the needs of those around them. Eventually as they become more experienced in the training, they will continue to create a larger community impact as they train parents and other community members respectively. Together, the teachers and community members who receive Brain Education will build a culture of harmony within the community they live in.

This project seeks to create an even larger impact by training college students. These students are crucial to the sustainability of the project as they will work to continue building relationships with each of the two initial communities. As these students enter the community as professional educators and leaders, their knowledge will have a rippling effect as they continue to promote cognitive, emotional and physical health.

Together with IBREA staff, 5 other volunteers, coming from different cultural and educational backgrounds are working on this project. While supporting the training of community members, college students and teachers, as well as the research angle of the project, they are also enhancing their own experience with Brain Education and will spread their learning in their own communities back home.

Let's keep co-creating this model for harmonious living. Please make a donation and send this news to your family and friends for them to take an action too. If you are also interested in actively being a part of the campaign by training people in a local community you are connected to, please email info@ibrea.org with your idea. We will guide you through the process of applying the campaign in your own context.

Thank you always for your valuable support!!!
