on 16.10.2023 at 13:32

Please watch the three session below:

In this session, we explored what creativity is, and how to promote creative thinking skills.

Ready-to-use classroom activities that are based on relevant real-life materials which engage young learners in authentic communication.

Ideas for teachers to support the development of socio-emotional skills to encourage learners to build a more empathetic world.

Helping our young learners embrace their creativity, curiosity and sensitivity while they are still little, is one of the greatest things we can offer as their educators.

In a special 3-session event (2 hours total) dedicated to the education of children, we will be looking at how to help our little learners embrace their curiosity and creativity, understand the wide world of ‘words’ and build confidence in themselves by establishing a rock-solid emotional foundation.
