Kintsugi for Educational Institutions

AMALGAM FOR EDUCATION:
KINTSUGI FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Through the “Amalgama for educational institutions” program, the Prolongar® Foundation strengthens processes to change emotions, attitudes, and behaviors in students, teachers, and parents.

We strengthen socio-emotional skills, foster processes for peaceful coexistence and promote a culture of peace.

Why is it important? It’s science

Teachers request support for these topics

4 out of 5 teachers want more support to address students’ social and emotional development.

Today’s future

This study found statistically significant associations between the measurement of socio-emotional skills in kindergarten and positive results in education, employment and mental health in adulthood.

It is efficient and effective

Integrating social and emotional development into learning returns 11 dollars for every dollar invested.

HOW WE DO IT ?

Theory and Practice Together

We work with body awareness, movement, role play and different techniques that bring to experience what we have learned in theory.

Artistic Tools

We use Kintsugi along other artistic and symbolic languages that involve the cognitive, emotional and spiritual spheres of people and communities. We create comprehensive and sustainable changes over time.

WHAT WE DO?

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

We understand the needs, strengths, context and interests of the educational institution.

DIDACTIC MATERIALS

We elaborate teaching materials such as booklets, online videos, etc. to facilitate learning.

EXHIBITION EVENTS AT THE SCHOOL

Small exhibitions can be held with the Kintsugi pieces. This may be a symbolic experience that strengthens learning and behavior change.
