Egypt: Arts, music and joy for development!

med_admin — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 07:26:28 +0000

Greetings from Egypt, everyone! Welcome to Alwan Wa Awtar – Arts for Development. Here is where children can learn, sing and have fun together.
Have a look! We are happy to be connected with you now, across the Mediterranean Sea!

Hallo aus Ägypten! Willkommen bei Alwan Wa Awtar – Kunst für Entwicklung. Hier können Kinder lernen, singen und Spaß haben. Schaut’s euch an! Wir freuen uns, jetzt mit euch verbunden zu sein – über das Mittelmeer!

Here is more about us, dedicated to adults like educators and parents:

To create a conducive environment enabling children and young persons in marginalized areas to develop their artistic sense, intellectual and creative abilities and self-awareness through arts and non-traditional learning techniques.

تهيئة بيئة مناسبة تُمكِّن الأطفال والشباب فى المناطق المهمشة من تنمية إحساسهم الفني وقدراتهم الفكرية والإبداعية واكتشاف الذات، من خلال الفنون وأساليب التعلّم غير التقليدية.

We believe that art is a fundamental tool for self-expression and self-exploration. Practicing arts enhances cognitive and expression abilities and contributes in the development of many skills such as observation, analysis, critical thinking and problem solving. These skills are to be used in all aspects of life. Practicing arts also increases social awareness as art reflects culture, and hence those who practice art become effective members in their communities.

Furthermore, we believe that the right learning environment can have a positive impact on acquisition of life-long learning skills that promote choice, freedom of expression and learners’ ownership of learning activities. They also promote respect for difference of opinion and abilities and create a cooperative environment that encourages discussion and analysis.

“Alwan we Awtar” adopts a participatory approach across all its activities. We believe that the trainer and trainees are partners in the learning process, each enriching learning through his/her/their own unique experiences, abilities and skills. We also link all activities and situations to which participants are exposed to their personal and practical lives. We believe that each learning situation is a chance to develop their life skills such as communication, negotiation, problem-solving, respect for difference, cooperation, citizenship and social responsibility.

We realize that there are varying levels of abilities and competencies and we regard such variation as conducive to the diversity of the group’s learning experience. Learners’ individual needs are fundamental factors in the learning process and each learner’s self-expression and experience should be encouraged.
Trainers are role models and guides for trainees and their influence goes beyond the activity itself towards bringing about positive change.

نحن نؤمن بأن الفن يشكل أداة أساسية لاكتشاف الذات والتعبير عنها
وممارسة الفنون تزيد من القدرات الإدراكية والتعبيرية و تساهم فى تطوير وتنمية العديد من المهارات مثل الملاحظة والتحليل و التفكير النقدي والقدرة على حل المشكلات، تلك المهارات المستخدمة في كافة مناحي الحياة.
كما أن ممارسة الفن يزيد من الوعي الاجتماعي، باعتباره انعكاساً للثقافة، وبالتالي يهيئ ممارسيه ليكونوا أعضاء مساهمين وفعَّالين في مجتمعهم.

كما نؤمن بإن بيئة التعلُّم المناسبة تؤثر إيجاباً على اكتساب مهارات التعلُّم مدى الحياة، و هي تلك التي تعزز الاختيار وحرية التعبير والملكية للأنشطة التعليمية داخل نفس المتعلم، والتي تشجع على إحترام
الاختلاف في الآراء والقدرات، وتخلق مناخا تعاونيا، وتشجع على المناقشة والتحليل.

و تعتمد ألوان وأوتار فى عملها علي الأسلوب التفاعلي التشاركي من خلال كافة الأنشطة التي نقوم بتنفيذها، حيث نؤمن بأن المُدرِّب والمُتدرِّب هما شريكان في عملية التعلُّم وكل طرف يثري العملية من خلال ما لديه من خبرات وقدرات ومهارات تُميّزه عن غيره، كما نعمل علي ربط كافة الأنشطة والمواقف التي يتعرض لها المشاركون بالحياة العملية والشخصية لهم، ونؤمن بأن كل المواقف التعليمية هي فرصة لتطوير المهارات الحياتية، مثل التواصل والتفاوض وحل المشكلات وإحترام الإختلافات والتعاون والمواطنة والمسئولية المجتمعية.

و ندرك أن مستويات القدرات متفاوتة وهذا التفاوت ينظر له على أنه يسهم في تنوع الخبرة التعلمية للمجموعة، كما أن الاحتياجات الفردية للمتعلِّم عامل أساسي في عملية التعلُّم وينبغى تشجيع التجربة والتعبير الذاتى لكل متعلِّم.
المدربون هم قدوة ومرشدون للمتدربين، وتأثيرهم يمتد لما هو أبعد من النشاط نفسه إلى إمكانية تحقيق تغيير إيجابي مؤثر
