About

At WOW Kampung, we believe growth and change takes time, and requires more than just the short engagements from workshops.

The JOE Project ignites pre-schools and the children to embark on projects that bring nature and their learning back into the classroom to fuel the growth and inspire a change in culture and attitudes among the pre-school community.

This concept of a Living Classroom is inspired by the Chinese idiom “钟灵毓秀” (which means “a place filled with the beautiful spirit of nature and community will nurture talented and spirited people with elegance and grace”) and helps to provide a different sensory stimulus into the learning spaces.

Highlights

• Gamification of the change process - to encourage environmental sustainability and community engagement
• Continued learning beyond classroom to support teachers in nurturing qualities and values for the 21st century
• Unlocking of rewards to help strengthen the school’s capabilities and knowledge through interaction and working with experts and experience field workers
• Help pre-schools distinct themselves from other pre-schools through awards recognition, and to showcase their commitment towards nurturing children’s wellbeing and being recognised as a green school in their community

Outcomes

The outcomes of the JOE Project are:

• A systematic and measurable manner to help schools activate change
• To catalyst more experiential, hands-on social-emotional learning into pre-schoolers
• By providing turn-key capabilities, we help schools sustain the learning for the children through different post-programme activities and interactions
• With greater exposure, children can become more confident and motivated to create tangible change
