El Salvador – "Fundación Salvador del Mundo" (FUSALMO) committed to digital educational innovation of children and young people

06 July 2020

(ANS - Soyapango) - The "Fundación Salvador del Mundo" (FUSALMO) launched its educational platform "TRANSFORMA" as homage to the great work of the teachers of El Salvador. FUSALMO is a Salvadoran organization founded in 2001 that, through integral educational processes, develops flexible programs and projects that meet the needs of children, adolescents and young people through the Salesian youth centers in San Miguel, Santa Ana and Soyapango.

Precisely because FUSALMO works with active groups of children and young people, it has proposed the educational platform "TRANSFORMA", which is available to both students and teachers. "'TRANSFORMA' is a meeting place for the educational community, where coexistence and education go hand in hand, together with technological and emotional experiences, accessible and innovative," say its directors.

Through the online platform "Transforma" it is possible to find different experiences to learn in a dynamic and fun way.

It should be noted that this digital experience - https://transforma.fusalmo.org/ - is placed in a web 2.0 where interaction with the participants is fundamental and where the contribution of each is a starting point for development and growth. One of the fundamental pages of this network is the "Virtual Courtyard" where the participant has Don Bosco's phrase as their starting point: "Joy, study and piety: it is the best program to make you happy and that will benefit your soul." This page offers participants many resources, such as games, educational advice, assignments and tasks to be done ... But this section also opens up an interesting panorama of formation and virtual learning in the field of graphics, cooking, music, creative recycling ...

The platform, fully adaptable to mobile devices, was born thanks to "FUSALMO Virtual", the initiative created to meet the educational needs of Salvadoran children and young people, a place where innovative quality technological experiences are created, attentive to the needs of today's young people.

The proposal of "FUSALMO Virtual" is to offer focused courses for Salvadoran children and young people with components of: Technology, Art, Sport, Youth Protagonism and Accompaniment. Within the platform, users can also find courses for "Bank Teller, and English for Call Centers" in the context of Social and Work Management.

And work is still being done to open new spaces for educational institutions that require a virtual space and an academic reinforcement and tutoring program for their students.

Access to the "TRANSFORMA" courses is completely free and is available to all users who wish to become part of it, regardless of the study center of origin, be it private or public.

It is expected that around 3,000 children, adolescents and young people in their educational development will benefit, in a virtual way, from this service: https://transforma.fusalmo.org/
