We all know the challenge: finding ways to teach while still having fun can be tough. But using innovative methods can truly make a difference, especially with young students. It’s essential to motivate them and boost their learning through play. The good news is that there are plenty of tools we can use in the preschool environment today. Project-based learning, non-formal education, outdoor activities, and creative games are just a few of the many options that we have!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u200bA new edition\u00a0of the course \u201cInnovative teaching methods for preschool teachers<\/strong>\u201d took place in Palermo from 02\/03\/2025\u00a0to\u00a008\/03\/2024. The participants came from\u00a0Panev\u0117\u017eio lop\u0161elis- dar\u017eelis ,,Taika”<\/strong>\u00a0in Lithuania with Inga Sivinskien\u0117, Neringa Sto\u010dkien\u0117 and Irena Meiduvien\u0117 and from\u00a0M\u00e5san barnehage<\/strong>\u00a0in Norway with Lillian Kjelsberg, Sissel Falk-Birkeland and Ann-Kristin M\u00f8llerstuen R\u00f8dseth.<\/div>\n
\u200bAn Erasmus experience wouldn\u2019t be complete without exchanging cultures and best practices. That\u2019s why we began our training with a\u00a0presentation of all the schools<\/strong>, following an overview of the\u00a0Italian preschool system<\/strong>. The participants shared images, videos, and their best practices with the group.<\/div>\n
\u200bThe first topic we explored was\u00a0innovation<\/strong>\u00a0in the preschool system. We began by discussing\u00a0social-emotional learning<\/strong>, using Kolb\u2019s experiential learning cycle as a framework. This approach helps students move from reflection to conceptualization and application, giving them an active role in the learning process. Of course, we also took part in as many games and activities as possible. The teachers had to showcase their drawing, dancing, and singing talents for the rest of the group! ;)<\/div>\n

\u200bTo not only talk about\u00a0Preschool Education\u00a0<\/strong>inside the walls of the classroom, we also visited two schools in Palermo:\u00a0Eco Scuola Montessori<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Istituto Minutoli<\/strong>\u00a0during the week, where we were also shown their approach of\u00a0Outdoor Education<\/strong>. Through Outdoor Education the teachers can achieve, on one hand, an increase in motivation and creativity; on the other, the improvement of the psychophysical well-being thanks to the contact with nature and the consequent reduction of the stress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u200bMoreover, we discussed\u00a0Project\u00a0Based\u00a0Learning\u00a0<\/strong>by looking at examples, different features and ways to introduce it in the classroom.\u00a0This innovative method that\u00a0allows students to delve into content in a more direct and meaningful way, starts from a topic question and tries to investigate real world issues. Working in a team and using their creativity can help our youngest students to discover a way to deal with real world problems, learning strategically and\u00a0searching for the\u00a0answers from the start, with the help of the teacher. With that knowledge the participants analysed the principles of PBL and found ways to apply it in their classes.<\/div>\n

\u200bBy the last day, a lot of challenges \u201cforced\u201d the participants to think out of the box and made them explore the\u00a0power of creativity<\/strong>. After that it was very hard to say goodbye. However, the participants were also looking forward to applying all the ideas that emerged during the course in their own classes at home. Another great week of inspiration was over, but only to be continued back in their countries.<\/div>\n
