Working together with the community
Development only works when a community is educated and has access to intellectual tools. The best way to achieve this is through structured participatory education that respects the importance of local knowledge and puts it into a global perspective.
Education Projects International works with schools and communities to develop projects that help students, teachers, and community leaders develop the skills and materials needed to become global citizens with an understanding of their own unique cultural heritage.
