Our approach:
CULTURAL APPROACH, WITHOUT IMPOSING FROM OUTSIDE
All cultures develop their own mechanisms for survival, development and care of children, and it is those ‘indigenous practices’ which need to be identified and reactivated in order to stimulate development which is truly authentic and long-lasting.
The first steps in this type of intervention, which, in fact, is more like sensitising than intervening, is to identify the local child rearing practices that can serve as a basis for further extensions and development, rather than impose concepts and regulations from outside. Rejection is a protective impulse when elements from outside are introduced that cannot be assimilated.
This rationale is applicable to most areas of intervention, regardless whether the intervention is material, technological or educational.
