TYO's Curricula: Fostering a Sense of Identity and Community

By Tala Said | Coordinator for US Operations

Week 1: Defining self-value by making nametags
Week 1: Defining self-value by making nametags

We are very excited to announce a major progress update at TYO! Through The Student Training and Employment Program (STEP!), working in coordination with Columbia University’s School of Social Work, we completed the first non-formal education curriculum designed specifically for children in Palestine (ages 4-5, 6-8 and 9-15). In striving to create world-class development programs, we also finalized the TYO Youth Service Learning (YSL) training guide. Our curricula for children emphasizes two main themes of communication and community, building a sense of security, trust, and self-confidence. Developing these life skills empowers children with hope for the future and the skills to lead change in Palestinian society. As a part of the curriculum, integrating psychosocial interventions supports children dealing with conflict, isolation and poverty by strengthening their resilience in the face of challenging circumstances, and in turn contributing to the overall stability of an entire affected community. 

For children ages 4-5 years old, we spend six weeks learning about the themes of identity and community. Take a glimpse into how TYO's curricula comes to life in the classroom (see week one's photo above):
