MAPUTO SKATE
It started as a skating program, and is now evolving into an association, Associação Skate e Educação (ASE) which is currently finalising its official registration.
Children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 are part of this Project and can participate at least twice a week to monitor their development. When they reach 18 years of age they are invited to volunteer and are given some responsibilities.
The program takes place every day including holidays.
Children and young people from the Khongolote neighbourhood participate in this project with the consent of their guardians.
This program aims to empower children and youth through skateboarding lessons, recreational activities, technology, citizenship and leadership in a safe and healthy environment. It runs after school or before school according to the student's schedule.
The target audience is primary and secondary school students and when we come across someone interested in being part of our program and are not studying, we try to understand why and support them to continue with their studies. Participants receive support with school work, clarify doubts and help them better plan their time to complement their studies and skateboarding.
This program has helped to identify students with serious reading and writing problems between the fourth to sixth grade. Our goal is to provide the multidisciplinary skills development.
