Projects Department
At KAIOS, our methodology allows us to establish a dynamic between the individual and the collective, because to change society you have to organize as a group, it is not enough to be conscious, you have to cooperate, consult and act according to the priorities of each individual and the group.
We therefore start from the personal realities of people and their experiences, through the critical analysis of these experiences, the participants question the context which led them to realize such inequality or social injustice. To give meaning to our projects, we balance the societal themes that concern our audiences, the values that bring us together and the actions to take to act together.
The thematic issues identified are:
• Human rights
• Social Justice
• Healthy eating and sustainable development
• The fight against discrimination
The values that drive us are:
• Solidarity
• Gender equality
• Critical mind
• Empathy
These issues and its values are translated into actions at the same time :
• Collectives
• Educational
• Practical and creative
• Stimulating and sensitizing
Our Competencies
To develop our socio-cultural projects and activities with our audiences, we have developed 3 major areas of intervention :
All our activities set up with the participants are based on a learning methodology that allows a transfer of skills to the participant-actors in order to allow them to free themselves and emancipate themselves individually and collectively. Within our projects we learn to learn by educating through action, this action necessarily passes through an awareness in order to be able to act. Lifelong education is a continuous lifelong learning methodology that offers greater inclusion when we are faced with vulnerable populations with few opportunities.
By implementing our activities with the participants we hope to achieve the changes they all aspire to, namely:
1. Awareness or conscientization,
2. Allow individuals to do things they did not dare before through emancipation initiatives,
3. Increase their ability to act.
4. Take action through the project.
Indeed, our activities make it possible to raise awareness at first but have the objective of causing a change in their lives (an impact), by giving them the power to act, because before they were limited in action, to do things which makes it possible to orient them in a transformation of social relationships and relationships with themselves. They thus build their own personalities and become:
