These activities are practiced and performed outside the school, through home-schooling and after-school activities as forms of non-formal education. The project will extend to the parents concerning the out of school learning of their children, encouraging them to develop strategies or implement the already suggested strategies by the program members in enhancement of the goals of the project.

Additionally, the consortium will prepare a guideline that will include recommendations for teachers on how to improve the non-formal learning activities for the learners.
It goes without saying that extra-curricular activities are necessary for each learner. Opening forums for children to enjoy programs outside learning in the classroom and away from books is equally important as the learners themselves in the learning process.
