Description of partner institution:
The Kindergarten Brauereihof hosts 100 children below age 6. The Brauereihof works with age-mixed groups in which the children from the same floor can use all rooms available according to their interest and the activities offered in the different rooms. The kindergarten takes part in a nation-wide programme to foster language acquisition of children (Bundesprogramm "Frühe Chancen": Federal programme "Early Start"). Within the framework of the Comenius Regio project it will provide its insights to link methods of active learning/educational projects with state-of-the-art language acquisition methods.
Role in the project:
All three kindergarten have been invited to the partnership due to their experiences in implementing innovative methods of work with pre-school children. Kindergarten will cooperate on developing and testing these and new methods of work, as well as share their experiences with the project partners.
Representatives of Kindergarten (directors and teachers) will participate in study visits and in the team work of experts, exchanging experiences and best practices in particular in terms of innovative methods of work for pre-school teachers.
The Kindergarten staff will take part in a series of trainings concerning both implementing and evaluating educational projects.
During the project each Kindergarten will implement "educational projects" based on "The Project Approach", and then evaluate and document the process of implementation.
Documentation of this process will be included in best-practice guide.
After the end of the project, the Kindergarten will disseminate the project results among other kindergarten in the region.
