Description
The main objective of the project is to improve the quality of teachers'' work in inclusive education and childwelfare education by organising four days of intensive training on working methods with children and young people integrating movement, play and senses, with a particular focus on working with pupils facing learning difficulties. The main planned action in the project is intensive training for primary school teachers working with young people and children who face learning difficulties and are therefore at risk of social exclusion. By participating in the training, they will improve their skills in youth work and learn about new and interesting tools for working with children and young people: how to include play, movement and activating all senses can help students with learning difficulties. The participants of the training will be 36 people - primary school teachers from the Pomeranian Voivodeship and teaching various subjects.They will be people who want to expand their competences and learn new tools for working with students, with a particular focus on students experiencing difficulties in learning. Through this project, the applicant will expand its educational offer for teachers and strengthen cooperation with Iceland as one of the Donor States.
The trainers conducting the intensive training will be two founders of a partner organization from Iceland Play To Learn More: Kristin Einarsdóttir and Sarah Jane Anthony. Sarah Jane Anthony and Kristín Einarsdóttir have created a truly exciting and practical course that focuses on learning, developing self-confidence and creativity through play, movement, sensory classes and mindfulness. In training, participants will learn how to teach academic social comers and skills through play, movement and sensory activities that allow students to learn "in action", without a worksheet or textbook in sight.
