Cambio Creativo: Skills Training and Certification for the Youth of Coco Solo (AEIF 2012)

The main goals of the project are to increase access to education and promote community empowerment in Coco Solo. To accomplish this, the team, working with partner organizations, will create a sustainable community center, facilitate workshops on reproductive health and family planning, English, literacy, and art therapy, provide intensive training courses, expanded roster of social programs and events including book clubs, sports events, and public performances to foster individual and community empowerment. INSPIRATION: In September 2010, Rose Cromwell (U.S. Fulbright alumna) and Michael Brown, a resident of Coco Solo, began collaboration between the Fulbright alumni mentors and the Coco Solo community by organizing volunteers to teach monthly workshops geared towards the needs of the community at large. Since then, Coco Solo residents have requested and received workshops in literacy, sexual education, computer skills, arts, and farming. The benefits are tangible: fewer youth are involved in local gangs, drugs, or violence, while more youth have access to educational opportunities, and are building valuable skill-sets that will help to empower themselves and their community.

Online Interactive Video Program for Chilean Adults Seeking their Secondary Education Certificate (AEIF 2012)

Chile has 9 million inhabitants, 5 million of which have not completed secondary education. To complete their studies, Chileans must either attend a school for adults or take a validation exam administered by the Ministry of Education. Oftentimes, the adults live too far from these designated schools or are ill prepared to take the validation exam due to a lack of preparatory materials. About 20% who take the exam pass it successfully. This project will provide all the contents for the previously mentioned validation exam, in accordance with the Chilean adult national education standards, through an online system with interesting, motivating and sequenced lessons in video capsules. The main goal of this project is to increase educational level, employment opportunities and entrepreneurship awareness to promote social inclusion of 100 people aged 18 or older who have not finished high school.
