Partnerships
The Smart Reading Child Project works in partnership with schools, learning resource centres, agencies and non-profit organisations to address specific issues and improve outcomes for the local communities, mainly promoting children’s reading, learning and education and addressing some of the prevalent social inequalities.
Such partnerships have fostered cohesion between schools in England and Ghana. They are aimed at enabling diverse groups of children to function and thrive together through virtual and remote initiatives. The success of this should hopefully lead to fostering a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and shared values. This should lead to:
The opportunity in facilitating interactions between people from different backgrounds to break down stereotypes and build trust.
Addressing inequalities in literacy: The provision of a platform to address education and reading inequalities and ensure that everyone has access to the similar opportunities and resources as much as possible.
A shared vision and a cohesive community that promotes a sense of belonging regardless of background.
Valuing individual uniqueness through diversity that recognises and appreciates the different backgrounds and circumstances of children.
Creating Positive Relationships and Friendship: By enabling children in similar year groups from different socio-cultural backgrounds in Ghana and England to build connections with one another.
We hope that building strong links and cohesive communities will also encourage children to increase in their appreciation of their uniqueness, promote resilience, improve social outcomes and reduce prejudice and intolerance.
By promoting understanding and interaction between different groups of children, a global community cohesion can help different societies and cultures to gain some education and understanding of each other’s values and identities. This will hopefully encourage the target groups- primary school aged children- to actively engage with others to understand what they hold in common.
