Changemaker: Alvaro Benavides
Country of Implementation: Argentina
Every day more and more education initiatives arise in order to improve the quality and scope
of the contents taught in Argentine classrooms. However, most of them are oriented towartds
ICTs or towards improving the learning curve of subjects that already exist, such as STEM,
literature, history, among others. So this type of content is being held in the spotlight in most of
those educational programs, at the expense of emotional, cognitive and social development of
school children.
That is why the project Educación Responsable Argentina seeks to train schools teachers from
nursery, primary and secondary education so they can facilitate skills related to empathy and
emotional intelligence in their classrooms. This program aims to provide knowledge, tools and
support to educational institutions, promoting the emotional, intellectual and social growth of
their students, generating a positive impact both individually for each student and in the entire
school community.
