I did a workshop on Service Learning in Sikasso which is a city 380km from Bamako the capital city of Mali.
I chose BINGO as icebreaker activity. They  really like it. Because it was there first time to play it. Then the Think Pair Share on what's a service learning followed. That one also was their first time to hear about that.
The fact of combining the powerpoint slides and the video projection on service learning made them motivated and engaged.
They were divided into 4 group of 3. Each group created and presented a service learning project related to the curriculum. All the participants are planning to implement service learning in their different schools.
Before the workshop I took part to INES-Sikasso English cultural day. I'm the coodinator of Education of INES-Mali.
I had an amazing experience on my way to Sikasso. Our car stopped by a village where I took some pictures. Sikasso is the first producer of fruits and vegetables in Mali.
I really love my adventure to Sikasso.
