English Teaching Internship Initiative (ETII)

Morocco
Access to Education
English M.A. students at Moroccan public universities intending to become English teachers currently find themselves in a precarious professional situation. Following recent government reforms that reduced the annual recruitment of new teachers, imposed a stricter recruitment process, and halved the monthly salaries of teacher-trainees, the professional outlook for these students has dimmed. Moreover, their career prospects are further challenged by their lack of practical teacher-training in their largely theory-intensive university curriculum.This project tackles English MA students’ employability constraint by offering them a community-service internship program that allows them to sharpen their English teaching skills and develop their leadership capacities, and provides them with an opportunity to teach under-privileged students with limited access to English language education, enhancing the latter students’ employment prospect in return.

Morocco
Access to Education
As the world transitions to an era where technology reigns supreme, computer programming is increasingly considered a foundational field. In fact, computerization already touches just about everything in our lives, from the phones we use, to the cars we drive, to the movies we watch, to the way we socialize. Computer programming is undoubtedly part of the essential skill set of young individuals who aspire to thrive in the 21st century. Yet, in Morocco, virtually no school teaches it, and there aren't any coding camps available for students to familiarize themselves with this very basic skill before entering university. Our project aims to gradually fill this void.

Morocco | Let's Communicate

"Morocco | Let's Communicate” project is made up of training that will bring awareness to the Deaf community of Morocco. This project leads to a two-day conference focused on deaf culture and communication strategies. Led by experts in the field, we will include around 45 community leaders, Peace Corps Volunteers, and other interested community members, as well as family members of deaf children, will attend the conference to better understand the needs of the hearing impaired as well as ways to better communicate with deaf community members. In total we expect the number of people ultimately affected by this training to be around 100, this is including direct and indirect beneficiaries. Beyond awareness, it will also train important community members on matters pertaining to deaf culture, rights and communication. The project includes presentations from TAWASSOL association members, Sign language training, awareness activities which touch topics related to Deafness and the society: medical approach about deafness, the international convention of right of people with disabilities, sociology of the deaf and deaf culture, sign language: history and languages, and sign language differences; body and sign language; Non-verbal communication. The objective of the project will be to give the community a better understanding of their deaf community members and foster ongoing beneficial relationships. Ultimately the project will not only benefit the deaf community of Morocco but also the hearing community members by creating an environment of understanding and learning. The idea of this project is a result of the fellowship of Tawassol association’s vice-president in the USA -may 2015- with many nonprofit and US national institution who work with disabilities and Deaf in particular, organized by Tawassol Association for the Deaf,"Let's communicate" project made in cooperation and sponsoring of The Ministry of Solidarity of Women, Family and Social Development in Morocco; Peace Corps Morocco; World Connect, and many Moroccan civil society people.
