Where there is a tree to plant, you plant it
Where there is an error to correct, you correct it
When there is a challenge that others avoid, you meet it
You be the one to remove the stone in the path.

ESE:O‘s methodology combines Collaborative writing , knowledge translation ,Teaching and writing tools and information technologies .
ESE:O‘s methodological approach views language as an agent of social transformation.
In ESE:O’s workshops and projects writing becomes an opportunity for individuals to build together something lasting which can represent them in time: a text. In this context writing becomes a collaborative act of the community.
ESE:O’s methodology promotes awareness of the writing process itself: participants become conscious of their own writing process and are taught how to replicate it. This way, participants learn how to teach writing to others as well. This model is called “training of trainers”.
ESE:O believes that social transformation cannot happen without learning, and that learning cannot take place in isolation.
ESE:O’s approach to writing stresses writing as a social process.
The exchange of information between participants and interaction between partners (dialogues and collaborative writing) takes place in an online campus E-educativa internet platform which fosters dialogue and collaboration.
In ESE:O projects all writing takes place based on carefully scripted dialogues, which have been designed previously by us to produce those texts which each particular writing community needs (i.e. academic articles, books, press releases, reports, blogs).
In this way the ESE:O methodology develops capacity in networking, social communication and the use of available technology for social transformation.
ESE:O’s methodology builds capacity in democratic literacy in the global South.
Working with adults, youth and children, ESE:O‘s projects build capacity in democratic literacy.
ESE:O’s workshops, projects and materials aim at developing skills and competencies in writing (for academia, policy making, advocacy and the arts), critical thinking, social communication, accountability and adhering to international standards.
ESE:O invites you to be part of this project.
