In Brazil we led one project and trained several practitioners. See below for country related content.
Project
In August 2021, BSC began an engagement with Instituto Sonho Grande (ISG) in Brazil to build the capability of public servants working in secretariats of education in the states of Maranhão and Paraíba.
Using PDIA to Improve Public Education in Brazil
August – December 2021
In this virtual action learning program, 60 public servants working across 11 teams, learned how to use PDIA to solve locally nominated problems, through action-oriented work. Over the period of four months, the teams constructed and deconstructed their problems, identified entry points and ideas to act upon, and undertook four iterations.
At the end of the program 94% rated the overall quality of program as very good or excellent.
