Promoting yourself: encouraging self-reflection through art

An invitation to self-reflection

The students participated in the module ‘Promoverte a ti Mismo’ (Promote Yourself), organised by the two Dutch guest teachers Melle Dotinga and Jaap Stahlie of the NGO Reclame Maken Voor Jezelf. Melle and Jaap have been guest teachers for 15 years at IMC Weekendschool where they organised this module many times. Mundo de Talentos is the first sister school of IMC Weekendschool on the Latin American continent.

In collaboration with a local team of guest teachers like psychologists, poets and writers, the students reflected on who they are, what they stand for and what makes them unique. Parents also took part in the program. Student María Fernanda shared their beautiful experience: "with the activities we do in Mundo de Talentos, I have learned that I accept and love myself as I am."
