ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Our speakers from CEIBAL will introduce “The League of Challenges”—an initiative focused on embedding essential skills into classroom learning through a child-friendly approach. The League aims to:
- Clarify: Help students understand core skills in age-appropriate ways.
- Prioritize: Elevate these skills within the learning process.
- Promote Development: Encourage hands-on practice for skill mastery.
- Evaluate: Provide tools for students and educators to assess these skills in meaningful ways.
This framework includes physical materials, such as character cards symbolizing global skills, aligned with Uruguay’s 2023 competency framework.
