What is a REFLECT circle?
REFLECT literally means "Regenerated Freirian Literacy through enhanced Community Techniques." Education is not only based on input from a teacher, but also evolves from creative activities. Trainers will prepare the daily lesson plan for the circle and discuss literacy, counting and social issues. However, the learning itself evolves from the ideas, that are contributed by the adolescents, i.e. their imagination of what marriage is all about. It is a step to enlightenment, to become aware and thus responsible of their life. Our trainers facilitate this process additionally, guiding the adolescents to a visualization of their analysis, i.e. with posters. By this method, adolescents develop problem-solving strategies and can identify action points to overcome social grievances like child marriage. Our circles represent a continuing education for two years. They are generally operated six days a week for two hours daily (except Friday). In the second year, the activities will be split into continued learning and practical application of the knowledge. This means for example, that they get into contact with government organizations to coordinate the implementation of action points.
