T EARN is a scientific non-profit association, chapter of iEARN(International Education and Resource Network) www.iearn.org
Our association is responsible for engaging youth in educational activities through the project-based approach (PBL), as it has a positive impact on education, because of its contribution to young people in the field of acquisition of languages and 21st century skills .that are needed to advance civically, and in the field of their integration into local and global societies. This means that we will focus mainly on values of democracy, peace and active citizenship.
The main objectives of our association are to:
1. Encourage the project approach in all subjects taught in schools to enhance technology and foster
the values of citizenship, democracy and tolerance between young people and their openness
onto other cultures .
2. Engage in educational projects of the "International Education and Resource Network" (iEARN)
3. Incite both students and teachers to work and communicate using new technologies.
4. Train teachers in using digital resources and in using online projects, thus empowering teachers with competences allowing professional development.
5.Reach out to teachers across the country with a focus on underprivileged areas.
6.Partner with associations and NGO to unite efforts in spreading ICTE .
We have worked on a regional project entitled "Christopher Stevents Youth Network" ,which was named after former Ambassador to Lybia Cristopher Stevens.The project brought together students and teachers from the MENA region with their counterparts in the USA.
We have just started another regional project with secondary schools BRIDGE(building respect through Internet Dialogue and Global Education).This project will last 2 years.
We are planning an annual conference in Tunisia in 2017 and we are currently working on a regional conference in Tunisia in the fall.
We are expanding our network and trying to reach out to all regions, especially schools in remote, underserved areas .Our objective is to enhance quality education and we strongly believe that this objective can only be reached through the use of technology and the acquisition of 21st century skills to ALL children.
We do believe that networking is the ideal solution to an exchange of expertise, success stories and the sharing of skills.
