Non-formal education workshops
As part of the RIESP project, DYA implemented non-formal vacation workshops in Esmeraldas to strengthen learning and provide safe spaces for children and adolescents. The initiative combined play-based methods, hands-on experiments, arts, sports, and socio-emotional activities to foster creativity, positive relationships, and active learning. The experience showed improvements in participation, practical understanding of concepts, and peaceful conflict resolution. The systematization documents effective methodologies, challenges encountered, and recommendations for replicating and strengthening these educational initiatives. It offers valuable lessons on connecting education, well-being, and comprehensive protection in challenging contexts.
