Overview
In 2017, the DQ Institute worked together with MovingToAction – a non-profit educational organisation dedicated to building youth competencies and conscious leadership skills – to bring the #DQEveryChild movement to the Dominican Republic. Angela, the founder and her team, have been intrumental in helping translate DQ educational materials into Spanish for sharing with their community of educators and policymakers as well as introducing DQ to all levels of stakeholders.
MovingToAction has been working both top-down via engaging governments, press, and radio; and bottom-up through advocating for local school engagement through school visits and parents’ and teachers’ workshops, ensuring cross sector collaborations and strategic alliances with universities, organisations with similar objectives and the private sector.
Moving forward, MovingToAction will continue to work with multiple stakeholders to bring #DQEveryChild to more schools, children, parents and educators.
