Dear Revoar´s friends and supporters,
Instituto Revoar is very happy to share that in recent months it has completed two important projects with different target groups. The first was Educators in Connection, a socio-emotional training course for teachers in a northeastern state of Brazil, Bahia, and the second was the Socio-Emotional Skills for Life Project, carried out at a Municipal School in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
Educators in Connection started in March and lasted 8 months. As a quantitative summary of the Project's achievements, we had: 20 pedagogical meetings were held, two of which were face-to-face in Correntina (Bahia), resulting in 76 hours of courses and the certification of 41 education professionals from the municipality. As an important result, we were able to verify a change in the pedagogical practice of the participating educators, with the inclusion of socio-emotional development as an objective in the classroom.
This was the first time that Instituto Revoar expanded its work to other states in Brazil and was able to impact the most disadvantaged regions of the country. In these regions socio-emotional courses, despite being more important, have fewer opportunities to take place.
The Socio-Emotional Skills for Life Project aimed to promote the development of socio-emotional skills in adolescents, contributing to the well-being and mental health of these young people, as well as seeking to strengthen the bond with school and studies. The project also supports young people to think about their dreams and choices, which culminates in the development of individual Life Projects, aligned with the process of self-knowledge carried out along the way.
The course consists of a pedagogical journey that was carried out between September and November 2022 with students from two Elementary School classes at the Vicente Licínio Cardoso Municipal School, aged between 13 and 14 years old, with a total workload of 15 hours and with 60 participating students. The results of the project were very interesting, among them: young people knowing their emotions, strengths, skills and dreams. Young people knowing how to regulate their emotions through breathing processes, meditation and active listening. The testimonies we had the most from the participants were that the course is important for young people, as they have difficulty regulating themselves, and understanding their emotions, in addition to being in a phase of many changes, where knowledge about themselves is extremely important. .
We appreciate the support of each person who contributed to the implementation of these projects, and we are happy to share the records of these two Projects completed in November 2022.
Gratefully yours,
Revoar Institute
