Sprout E-course
http://www.sproutecourse.org
Sprout is an e-course program developed with support from the
Pearson Foundation designed for aspiring social innovators and
environmental entrepreneurs who want to grow their project ideas and
learn to create lasting changes in their communities. Sprout provides
young leaders who have a well thought-out, community-focused
idea with an opportunity to grow, learn and connect with like-minded
leaders in a supportive environment that encourages their hard work to
create a better world.
Sprout participants are matched with qualified e-mentors who provide
valuable insight and advice throughout the duration of the e-course.
The e-course is organized by four different learning modules (Design,
Plan, Connect, Assess) and culminates in a project portfolio developed
and launched by each of the participants. The learning environment
is based on the TIGed virtual classroom platform which incorporates
online participation.
"I only learnt and realized how much l didn't know after
being on the Sprout e-course and I took solace in that there
is nothing more powerful than the possibility of tomorrow
offered by Sprout. I am richer in ideas, concepts, friends (fellow
participants, mentors & facilitators). I see the world in a different
way and Sprout has helped me to think outside the box. I greatly
appreciate the opportunity and a big Thank you to the Sprout
e-course and the entire Sprout team. You are doing a fantastic
job. Great stuff!!"
