PROJECT CITIZEN

THE BAD INFLUENCE OF VIDEO GAMES ON CHILDREN – February 24, 2005

This project was conducted by teacher Santy Requejo’s Teacher Training group and in this case the students were 40 Public School English Teachers. They focused their attention on the bad influence of video games on children and that many children have become addicted to these video games. The solutions recommended were very effective.

 The most satisfactory feeling was to see the way teachers worked on their projects with so much enthusiasm and responsibility. They have gotten not only the knowledge but also the experience of being useful and perfectly able to share it with their students at school; but overall I guess they have learned that they are the ones who can change many things if they want to work together.

Summer Language Institute for National School Teachers

The Summer Language Institute engages Peruvian Binational Center teachers as agents of sustainable community development as they provide national school teachers of English with critical professional development for their success in the English language classroom and a complete program of Foundations of democracy and Project Citizen. What was originally designed to be a-two-month institute is now a year round training program.

During the last seven years ICPNA Chiclayo has trained over 200 public school teachers and currently a new curriculum has been developed to make this a standard and an on-going program that this Peruvian Binational Center would offer year after year, completely free of charge. Every year we sign an agreement with the Regional Director of the Ministry of Education who co-signs with us the final diplomas awarded to the graduating public school teachers.
