COURSE OVERVIEW:
Nowadays, science education has become increasingly important since preschool. Experiencing natural phenomena, understanding the events around us, making children explorers are essential to the 21st century education. Our goal is to bring science closer to children who are receptive to many things, to make them fall in love with experimentation. It is important to make them sensitive to environmental protection and efficient energy management. Therefore, we can organize events for our children rich in experiential discovery in primary school. This training seeks to help primary school teachers to achieve this.

The course has a flexible approach in order to adapt the learning outcomes to the particular needs and digital skills of the participants.
Thanks to this course the participants will:
- Learn how they can put together experiential experiments for children
- Learn how they can arouse children’s interest in the world around them
- Learn how they can develop fine motor skills
- Learn the use of age-appropriate board, card and role-playing games
- Learn to make their own games
- They learn to build and program a simple robot
- They learn the steps of algorithmic thinking
- Learn about craft activities that can be used to make a recyclable object with the children
- They learn to develop children’s ability to cooperate
- Improve their teaching, digital skills and critical thinking
- Exchange best practices and share experiences with participants and staff coming from across Europe
- Make contacts with individuals and organizations working in the education field in Europe through everyday cooperation and networking activities
METHODOLOGY:
We tailor the working methods based upon participants’ needs, attitudes and professional profiles in order to ensure high productivity, effectiveness and transferability into practice.
Our methodology is highly practical and participative with hands-on approach that comprises real-job examples, case studies examination and simulations. We embrace collaboratively working methods that foster mutual learning and cooperation among participants. Our focus is on learning outside the classroom in an interactive and international environment. The pedagogical methods that we use are based upon experiential training, group and peer activities, learning-by-doing and best practices’ exchange.
During the course the participants will work on reality based projects, and they can take home the descriptions of the games and experiments used. They will get ideas on how to build up a curriculum and how to integrate the teaching of STEM into their classes.
Morning Wrap-up and brief daily evaluations are foreseen to ensure quality of education and to adapt the learning programme to participants' needs better tailoring the education.
Free time has been planned to give to the participants time to assimilate the concepts, develop further the group activities, ask trainers for further clarifications, etc. Networking and cooperation among participants will be supported and stimulated at each stage.
We organize optional social, networking and cultural activities in order to give participants the opportunity to know Budapest/Bratislava/Prague/Vienna/Belgrade/Zagreb/Krakow as well as to exchange best-practice and establish professional cooperation and links.
Before the course we measure the awareness of the participant with questionairres, after the course we will create a common database for the participants where they can share their ideas and experiences.
Follow up: we will create a facebook group for the participants, where they can duscuss their problems, and share their experiences.
