English, DIGITAL LITERACY, AND INTERCULTURAL SKILLS (EDLIS)
Teaching EDLIS was one of our first projects. When our founders began managing Centre Espoir in Dalaba, Guinea, as volunteers in 2008, they taught English and computers. They held leadership workshops to ensure that more young people from rural Guinea are equipped with the necessary skills to participate effectively in the global digital economy. From 2008 to 2014, as they hosted about 60 people who came daily to the center, the volunteers developed a language lab room and deployed a virtual computer room. When we became Jeune Espoir in 2014, we continued the EDLIS training at Centre Espoir through grants from the U.S. Embassy in Guinea, Resonate Global Mission, and individual donors.
We have qualified English and Digital Literacy teachers with U.S cultural exchange experience. We also have a bank of EDLIS training resources we have gathered and developed over the years. We constantly seek to partner with individuals and institutions to ensure that more underprivileged youth, especially those from rural cities, have equal access to education.
