Empowering grandmothers for children's education
Organization information
The Grandmother Project, Inc
Location: Chevy Chase, United States of America
Summary
60 grandmothers and 100 teachers will be trained to promote values education in schools. Passing on positive cultural values and traditions is important to families, but schools rarely teach them. Grandmothers, guardians of tradition, are a resource for families but also for schools. Grandmother-Teacher Workshops strengthen collaboration between them to teach children both "universal" knowledge and "traditional" values to help them thrive in a challenging world.
