Backup is going on tour again - time to learn more Backup is going on tour again - time to learn more about dyslexia & dyscalculia!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We started the Backup On Tour (BOT) initiative in 2021 to create awareness about learning difficulties & disabilities among professionals and parents in different cities in Uganda, since adults at workplaces and children at home & school are affected by these. Through workshops, we focus on sharing information with HR professionals, Team Managers, parents and professionals working with children. This enables them to give the necessary support to their employees and children identified with these conditions. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Today, we are opening up registration for the next round in September, with new content!

Do you still remember the launch of our ODII blend Do you still remember the launch of our ODII blended training package in June? Well, here is Mr. Lameny, headteacher of one of the schools doing our training remotely, who had this to say:​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ "It is a good training that will help us to address issues in our classroom and I would encourage us to take it seriously and complete the entire training."​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We have kicked off the first sessions and cannot wait to see how the teachers will use what they have learned!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #BackupUganda #ODII #ProfessionalDevelopment #BlendedTrainingPackage #EveryChildCanLearn #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs #BlendedTrainingspakket #ProfessioneleOntwikkeling

We are encouraged by such statements from the school's Inclusive Education Committee (IEC) members, and we believe that school-based support systems will stand the test of time in these schools. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #BackupUganda #IEC #InclusiveEducationCommittee #WinningAtInclusiveEducation #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs

Well, I do know now, because I have learned how to take great pictures and put out a positive message to the world. I am grateful for this because I am fond of taking pictures, but what I didn't know was that it could be more than just taking them for fun but any other thing, especially for a person who wishes to be a photographer and an influencer on social media.”​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ~ Ambrose, Trainee​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Through the Frostig traineeship program, we give the trainees a platform to explore and express themselves in areas they are passionate about, besides the knowledge and experience they gain about learning difficulties and disabilities.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #BackupUganda #FrostigTraineeship #TraineeJournal #LifeOfAFutureInfluencer #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs
