Learning Communities
Learning Communities is a joint initiative of Grupo Faro and the Ministry of Education that aims to improve learning through inclusion, dialogue and social participation. The project allows defining priorities within schools and then planning activities and strategies to achieve these priorities. This process involves students, school authorities, volunteers and parents, who are given the task of implementing concrete actions to transform schools and overcome social inequality. Until 2019, the project was implemented in 13 schools where approximately 30,000 people participated.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
