We ask ourselves if what people learn is really relevant to their lives, if what they learn helps to ensure the future of their communities, their culture and the survival of the planet.

We work collaboratively with the Ministry of Education of Ecuador, the Galapagos National Park and other local actors to transform education in Galapagos, from advocacy in public policy through participatory processes to research and development of innovative educational practices to strengthen Education for Sustainable Development.

Together with the Ministry of Education, we coordinate the Galapagos Agreement for Education (AGE by its acronym in Spanish), a public-private group that seeks continuous educational improvement in the islands, through the articulation and creation of public policy.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING SCENARIOS

Galapagos provides a unique environment for learning outside of the classroom. EVAs (by its acronym in Spanish) provide multiple opportunities to make learning more relevant and lasting with the power of experience. This can be achieved by exposing students to new environments, or by interacting with experts or people in the community who can offer new learning. We designed EVAs as a support resource for teachers.

Sustainability axis and subjects focused on the Galapagos Curriculum

Within the framework of the Galapagos Agreement for Education, we promoted and coordinated the participatory construction of a curriculum for Galapagos focused on the objectives of sustainable development. This Contextualized Curriculum was approved by the Ministry of Education as a public policy. We continue to support the Ministry of Education in the implementation of this curriculum, providing support to local teachers.
