They have little experience of designing educational programmes and of participating in their realisation. Some parents simply used the project to off load their responsibilities thinking we are here to fill their place. They showed little interest in investing even the minimum of resources in the education of their children. A new popular consciousness has been born. Improvements in the economic situation of parents, thanks to a savings and credit scheme, have contributed to a situation where the role of parenthood is more valued.
Parents participate in a dynamic fashion.
The programme has allowed for a sharing of resources which have led to the establishment of new forms of educational and social solidarity. The responsibility for education and training of young people is borne by the local community. Living spaces have been created which constitute areas of communication and exchange of knowledge and know how. The parents of children from seven villages have organised savings and credit activities in order to reinforce a positive image of parenthood in the children. The theatre is used as a teaching tool to give rise to effective social communication concerning all the questions which affect our social lives.
