Project No. 3.22/3.3.01/13.03979 is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund and by state budget funds with the support of Euroregion Nysa.
This project continues the cooperation between Kindergarten No. 3 and its branch and a partner kindergarten from the Czech Republic. It will involve organizing joint training sessions, meetings, competitions and preschool activities to which our Czech partner, the kindergarten from Doksy, will be invited. We also invite Kindergarten No. 6 from Bolesławiec and its Czech partner, the kindergarten from Jablonne, to participate in the project.
The project was inaugurated with training for Polish and Czech teachers in W. Sherborne’s Developmental Movement Method, held on 21–23 March 2014 in Świeradów Zdrój.
Despite the language barrier, the joint activities enabled direct contact between teachers from Poland and the Czech Republic, helped them get to know one another and form friendships, developed teachers’ professional skills through participation in methodological workshops and sharing the skills they acquired, as well as exchanging experiences and setting directions for working with children. The skills gained will help teachers get to know the children in their care better, give the children an opportunity to learn about their own bodies, improve their motor skills, develop physical fitness and become more open to others through participation in exercises based on the Developmental Movement Method.
During the training, a competition was announced for teachers for the most interesting documentation of activities conducted with children under the slogan “This Is What We Learned at the DMM Workshops.”
In June 2014, children from Kindergarten No. 3 and its branch, as well as children from Kindergarten No. 6 in Bolesławiec, will travel to kindergartens in the Czech Republic, to Doksy and Jablonne. There, they will take part in demonstration activities using the Developmental Movement Method and joint movement games.
The project’s formal conclusion will take place in October 2014 during a meeting of children and teachers from Doksy and Jablonne at MPP No. 3 and MPP No. 6 in Bolesławiec. In addition to the children’s participation in DMM demonstration activities, the teachers’ competition will be concluded, and there will also be a joint trip to the swimming pool and water activities.
