The project

A project organized with Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, where the Action Research course was implemented in the classroom. More than 600 primary school students from five schools in western Guatemala took part.

Why it matters

Action research is a method in which teachers study their own practice: they observe a problem in the classroom, try a change, record what happens and adjust. Applied to arts education, it lets activities respond to what each group of children needs, instead of repeating a program designed for a different context.
