You will delve into key elements such as child-centered approaches and emphasis on interaction, play, and outdoor learning. You gain knowledge about creating impactful and inspiring learning experiences for your young learners.
2. Linguistic development through playful learning
Language is not only an object of learning in early education, but also a vehicle for learning. It provides children with means to manage different situations, interact with others, express themselves, and gain knowledge. Through this workshop, you will gain practical skills and ideas on how to support your children’s linguistic development through interactive and experiential activities.
3. Diverse expression skills through playful learning
Expression promotes children's learning potential, social competence, and positive self-image.
