become an open place for all to participate in various activities
for the development of the child. The community members
should be actively participative, Enthusiastic to take an active

For informing the participants about the possible roles and tasks
they could achieve through the committees, try to implement
discussion circles, conference or meetings( in which all the
participants are a warred about the importance about their
participation for the benefit of the children educationally,
psychologically and socially in addition to the benefit in supporting
the school to reach its educational objectives). After introducing

would like to be a member in the committee?”
Then the committees will be formed of the proposed
participants:(the committees should include children, parents,
teachers and active members in the community).

10. Do we recognise this as a long-term commitment?
11. Are we prepared to build in changes long term and not just have
a one-off event?

After being sure that we can fulfil the above information, then we
have to look in the issues related to Children’s & their parents
desire to participate.

Give the children a chance to plan for the activities, so that their
opinions should be taken into consideration. Related to this issue we
build a partnership with the children in planning for activities, so
that designed with the children a simple plan for them that is easy
and reachable for all children, then they implemented with other
children training workshops to test the plan and be sure that it
