Class coordinators

In this video, they talk in detail about their transition and how their experience as a youngster at TADA influences their approach with the children in their class. Their motivation to give back what TADA has given them is huge.

« I'm really happy to be able to give back what I've been given. » – Natalia

Finally, we'll find out how their new experience is going and what it's like to be on the "other side" of the classroom. They are the first generation of TADA children to become class coordinators and have become trusted figures for around 28 TADA children and their parents. In the coming years, we intend to focus more and more on the transition from alumnus/a to class coordinator.

TADA's long-term vision is to involve as many alumni as possible in the emancipation of new youth, so that they can contribute to a more inclusive society from their own experience.
