The mobility started with the Reception Ceremony of the guests organized at Gradinita Ciupercuta. During this ceremony, the children presented a small show (traditional dances from the three partner countries and traditions and customs from Romania). The show was followed by a visit to the kindergarten and its yard, during which the participants had the opportunity to see and participate in activities made with materials from nature and promoted by our project. Thus, they observed and actively participated in the following activities:
- stone painting,
- transient art made with recyclable materials: "Winter tree", with materials from nature (paintings, house siding, etc.)
- painting on glass (art therapy)
- ceramics;
- making mandalas with traditional motifs;
- rhythmic dances made with natural/recyclable objects,
- traditional songs and dances (sezatores)
- tinkering activity.
The day continued with the presentation of the educational systems of the countries involved and the results of the project. The event was attended by preschool teachers, managers of preschool units in Bucharest, accompanied by two representatives of the School Inspectorate.
Day two:
The host unit organized the demonstration activities;
- Tinkering workshop made in collaboration with parents. Materials used: recyclable and natural materials. The workshop ended with the presentation of a fashion parade in which the little ones presented their costumes made together with their parents. ;
- Household activity where the little ones kneaded and baked the bread, but not before observing the entire path of the bread.
During this activity, the guests had the opportunity to go back in time and relive all these stages of the "bread road".
- Wool felting workshop. Friction felting is the traditional method by which, with the help of warm water and soap, non-spun wool is felt by friction. In combination with warm water and soap, the scales of the woolen threads rise and due to the movement produced by rubbing or rolling, they become so tangled that the threads become a compact mass that can no longer be separated. The product shrinks a lot thanks to this process and a compact textile material is obtained. The children and partners made some wonderful flowers with effort and patience.
- STEAM workshops also made with the help of materials from nature. Here the children demonstrated once again that nature can be a powerful ally in the teacher's learning process. Kids can even do coding, engineering, art (including music) activities using natural materials.
The teachers were actively involved in all these activities, participating and carrying out tasks with the children within the activities.
Day three.
For a better understanding of inclusion and the importance of educating children's guardians, the host country organized a visit to Special School number 3 in Bucharest, the school that includes children from 3 years old and up. We have partnerships with this school in order to collaborate and exchange experience, because inclusion is an important objective in our project. Here the teachers had the opportunity to directly observe the importance of a quality education as well as the professionalism of the teachers involved. The show specially prepared for them, a show where all the children had special needs only proved that where the teacher shows passion, nothing is impossible. The rhythmic dances, the music, the atmosphere, the organization did not show that these children are different. The show became interactive and proved once again that the impossible can become possible.
Demonstration activities followed at the "Dumnbrava awesome" kindergarten, which implemented inclusive outdoor activities from the implementation plan of our ACAN project..
Day 4;
The documentation visit which had the role of informing and optimizing the teaching-learning-evaluation process in inclusive outdoor education at the level of all three countries involved.
The teachers discussed the achievements of the project, sharing opinions and finalizing the last details of the final product of the project.
Day 5.
On the last day of the mobility, the teachers participated in demonstration workshops, viewed an exhibition with materials from nature and exchanged impressions about the different ways of using bricolage and about the other innovative techniques promoted by the project at the preschool level in the three partner countries.
Our partners admired the Romanian dance, port and singing, visited 13 groups of children and observed how in each group a corner of nature was bringed inside so that the little one feels more released.
RESPECT, PLAY AND JOY were the meaningful words that guided our steps through the groups that implemented inclusive outdoor education.
Today, the guests sat down and sang, loomed and told about the customs and traditions of each country (they even sang traditional songs from their country). They learned what a „sezatoare” means and experimented.
As the theme of the project was inclusive outdoor education, the certificate awarding ceremony took place outdoors in the middle of the snow in a delightful natural setting that only strengthens the communion of man with nature.
