The Power of Language. An Activity Guide for Facilitators
Submitted by admin on 28 October 2006 - 11:52pm
Synopsis
In educational contexts language is the most important means of communication. This base is not very often questioned. But language does have dramatic effects on how you work with a group. This became obvious in the multilingual setting of the International Network Education for Democracy, Human Rights and Tolerance. The insight underlined the experiences of the 10 Network members in Brazil, Chile, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa and the USA. This is why the Network decided to develop, compile and test activities that can be used by facilitators to make people aware of the impact of language. The activities show how closely related language is to such fundamental questions as culture, identity and power structure. By tracing these links, facilitators can make the essential connection between language and human rights, tolerance and democracy. The manual also presents insights into the situation of language and power in the institutions of the member countries and suggests sample workshops for using the material.

Dula Sentle
Organisation
Dula Sentle Trust - Orphan Day Care
Project Focus
The aim of the project is to enlarge and strengthen a sustainable community based program for orphans and vulnerable children in Otse, a small village in Botswana, severely affected by the HIV epidemic. This community based program does provide social, emotional and educational support for orphans and children referred by social workers from the Ministry of Local Government.
Background
Target Groups/Participants
Children/Young People
Project Activities
Provision of orphan day care, recreation, education, social work services, finance generating activities, for example wood work.
Outcomes
Individual and Family: It has provided support for families and orphaned and vulnerable children.
Community: Established a model orphan care project for rural Botswana, which is duplicable. The project has so far been able to keep the fabric of our community project together. To provide children with the continuity of their lives, to keep them in their cultural setting, attached to families, schools, churches, friends e.t.c
Lessons Learned & Problems Encountered: The approach although so clear and feasible to us, often has been misinterpreted by others , mainly international organisations. Applications for funding for specific projects being perceived as impossible or not relevant, while for us they are very real and often crucial to our success.
