The Dololearn project pilots Future Education methods in Namibia and Southern Africa.
This approach makes use of some of the successes from the Finnish education system and adopts these to a Southern African context. The solutions aim to achieve an improved return on investment of our education sector by implementing progressive methods, but with a fraction of the resources available.
The pilot focused on three aspects of Future Education namely
i) progressive pedagogical methods
ii) new types of learning environments and
iii) e-learning.
The project objective is to pilot and validate the Future School concept and develop a model that can be scaled nationally and regionally. Progressive pedagogical methods for 21st century learning are introduced through teacher training and e-learning which are supported through creative learning environments at the pilot schools.
The general objective is to establish progressive teaching and learning methods in creative environments and thereby lay a foundation for early stage entrepreneurial development in Southern Africa.
