Teaching in Lovina will give you a real taste of the Balinese culture, being surrounded by local people and the stunning location of Lovina will not only enhance your teaching skills but you will feel "Mother Bali's"  presence heightening your inner soul to feel more present and connected to nature. With the mountains and jungle forests as an amazing, breathtaking backdrop, you cannot fail to feel inspired! Through our transformational Art and Craft classes,  we aim to provide a fun learning environment and attempt to make the children enthusiastic about expressing themself through art.

    Your role is to connect with the children and encourage them to be enthused about learning, sharing your experience in the English language will also be required, you may well have sown the seeds of a lifelong learning habit.

    About the project

    A Social Educational Program based on: Reshaping Minds on Dyslexia and supporting disadvantaged children in remote locations in North Bali, Indonesia.

    Meet your organization

    We are a non-profit organization situated in North Bali providing classroom support to dyslexic children and teacher-training programs which embody the latest research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively in the classrooms of Bali.

    The population of Bali, Indonesia is over 4.2 million. Catering for a growing population there are hundreds of underfunded schools with little or no material to practice inclusive education.

    Dyslexia in Bali is misunderstood for laziness leading children to feel frustrated and discouraged.

    Bali Dyslexia Foundation is proud to be Bali’s first free service offering teacher training, student assessment, ongoing support, and student scholarships specifically for students with dyslexia.

                          Student Intervention

    Opportunities for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia to progress and develop their knowledge at the same pace as their peers.
    Students to access the same opportunities, such as employment and moving onto tertiary or further education.
    Bali Dyslexia Foundation will enable children with dyslexia to become all that they can be without prejudice or shame.
    Providing tailored resources to meet the needs of the learners.
    Effective interventions ‘personalize learning’ by matching provision to meet children’s individual needs and quicken the pace of learning for those with literacy difficulties, thus narrowing the attainment gap with their typically developing peers.

    Teacher Intervention

    Our teacher training courses provide teachers, TA's and other education staff with the knowledge and skills to support their dyslexic students. Onsite training and tailored one to one programs are offered to all teachers who are on the program.
    We are a non-profit organization that offers teacher-training programs which embody the latest scientific research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively around the world.
