"Training values"

The good practice consists in the reinforcement of social capacities, through sports practice and the occupation of free time to promote values to children. This project arose from the need to promote a program of values that would be a backbone and driving force for social and community transformation, in one of the most populated region of Ecuador. 

The project was designed to involve a wide range of stakeholders and, in accordance with the Development and Land Management Plan and national plans, to contribute to the regional achievement of UN SDGs, particularly SDGs 3, 4, and 5.

The primary goal is to improve the quality of life for children and adolescents, which includes lectures, workshops, and physical activities to help them integrate socially. The main goal was to ensure that children received a consistent message from their community, while also ensuring that their needs were met so that they could listen. To ensure its reproducibility, the project was created with a methodology to better accompany and organize the many communities where it took place and on whom it relied.

This project aims to support the integral development of the province's various communities by cultivating assertive family and community relationships to improve physical and mental health and, as an ultimate result, strengthen the social net.
