Our vision We believe that every child and young person must have an additional language that enables them to develop to their full potential. We define ‘Supplementary classes ’ not just in terms of core curriculum subjects – although we believe attainment in these is vital – but also in terms of supporting the development of healthy, resilient and well-rounded young people, ready for responsible adult life. We support these families and communities for their children’s education By providing a multi-faceted service provision which goes beyond anti-poverty measures by improving the relative position of those who are excluded (giving them the tools and resources to take part in society as full citizens). The way Nene Tereza builds community resilience includes:1- Bridging the gap between children, parents and schools and mainstream services.
