EDU collaborated with us over 3 years to create and refine Hatua’s Skills for the Future curriculum, which equips youth with communication, collaboration, emotional intelligence, problem solving and responsibility skills through in-person, activity based learning and eLearning courses. So far over 700 Hatua Scholars have progressed from Beginner to Proficient in these core competencies. We recently made the first 9 units, including our training-of-trainers curriculum, open source at curriculum.hatuanetwork.org in order to make it easy for youth serving organizations to integrate soft skills training into their programs. This year, we are piloting implementation of Skills for the Future with three peer organizations, with the aim of scaling across East Africa. EDU’s contributions made this possible.
