Give us a call for more information on how you can benefit from this noble idea.

Interactive Radio Instructions
Interactive Radio Instruction is a methodology that uses radio to provide a multi-channel learning experience for learners and teachers. Multi-channel learning refers to the theory that all learners have their own learning styles; some learn singing songs, others may visualize while other through physical activity. IRI is an active teaching methodology that engages learners through games, songs, role plays, interactive drama, questions and answers or physical activity through use of radio in an appropriate role, use of sound pedagogical principles and use of a format that is suited to the audience and subject. YES Kenya is thus starting up training progrmmes on entrepreneurship through IRI model. Contact us for more details and showcasing on how IRI works.
