We are a week away from the beginning of our 2013 Wet Season program in Minyerri. Our Activity Leaders are in the process of designing and reviewing potential activities. All the activities
that we run during our program are based upon Teachabout's 4E model. The model incorporates four key objectives, ‘Empowering’,
‘Enabling’, ‘Expanding’ and ‘Engaging’. In designing our activities we address at least one E within each activity.
Empowering activities inspire participants through stories about famous
Aboriginal achievers. 'Empowering' also refers to creating a program
environment in which participants' culture and identity' are celebrated.
Expanding activities improve participants’ knowledge of
the opportunities education can provide and broaden their knowledge of the
world more generally.
Enabling activities equip participants with essential
skills for the future, e.g. literacy, numeracy, computer skills etc.
Engaging has dual focus – it relates to supplementary
activities that are essential to ensure string participation through the
program and it relates to engaging kids, their families and the community more
broadly into the program.
Not long now until we will get to see our activities in action!
