Since August 2002, ARDE runs every Saturday morning from 10:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m at Ecole Primaire Cibitoke 1 (Dorsale) two English programs: Program for beginners and English program for Advanced learners. The average attendance for each program is around 60 to 80 English learners. The session features a series of activities including but not limited to interactive grammar points, games, attention arousing Exposé, and thought-provoking debates.
Every Summer, ARDE organizes a two weeks English Teens Extravaganza (age group 14-17).
On this workshop, teens learn some basic English knowledge. During the training, they also learn about other life skills such as corporal hygiene, Sexual and reproductive health education as Burundian adolescent and education of girls (teens) in menstrual hygiene management. After the two weeks camp, all the participating teens are given a full pack of school kits.
