Description
The MANGO Campaign is Language Exchange Atlanta's campaign to promote a broader type of education than the STEM model of learning. It covers areas such as language learning, media literacy, animal welfare, gender equality, and college planning.
MANGO is an expansion of Language Exchange Atlanta, a meetup group designed to bring individuals together to practice their language skills. The purpose of this was to not only broaden the focus beyond languages, but also to emphasize on important aspects of schools that the STEM model of education doesn't highlight. This, however, isn't meant to replace the STEM model, but to expand upon the humanities more.
The reason why we emphasize on the humanities is because these subjects often promote qualities such as social justice, creativity, empathy, and logic. In otherwords, these subjects often discuss what makes us human. As people, we communicate all the time and the humanities allow us to develop the speaking skills necessary for conversations.
