"I Can Express Myself" is a Comenius 2013-2015 project.

The project “I can express myself” aims to encourage the pupils and teachers in the social-emotional development field which is the one of the most important development fields for kindergarten age children. At this period, a child has not developed the ability of defining emotions and expressing them properly in a right place, and the correct understanding of others’ emotions and needs, in other words the ability to emphasize.

In each school the children at kindergarten age will have pleasant activities such as art, drama, artistic work sheets, stories, music, cartoons and parent’s training. Academic development is prioritized in the curriculum. However, it was proved that some people having high cognitive intelligence did not have similar success in their school, family, social and working life. We come across with Emotional Intelligence (EQ) at this point.

Our partnership will be based on giving opportunity to preschool teachers to experience in different cultures different and beneficial practices on the subjects of defining and showing emotions, raising children having high emotional intelligence. These practices performed by kindergarten children who have not developed wrong behavioral patterns may support raising more peaceful and productive adult generation in the future. We foresee that our project will be beneficial for pupils and handicapped, immigrant, traumatized pupils having special conditions.

The documents (booklets,video, works of art, etc.) will be disseminated in the native language and in English. Certain key words will translated into the partnership languages to create a multilingual dictionary. The project will raise awareness about European languages and will encourage children to learn them.

“We get scared but we know how to control”

 


We make magic in a show with light and song

   

Representation and Theater

         
We listen the tale of “Little Red Hood and the Fierce Loup” and we disguise of their characters and represent it.
 
Plastic Representation

 
We paint ours fears in big panels and with different colours
                 
 

 
 And… That`s the result!
 
  
 
 
 

We use these panels as decoration in the theater that families and teachers represent at the end of the course.
Title: “The Little Red Riding Hood and The Fierce Loup”
The Magic Night
At the end of the course, we organize “The magic night”. The older children (2 and 3 years old) pass a night in the school. Teachers organize funny activities and then children have dinner and sleep all together.


 
Families decorate the school. This year they have built the true house of Little Red Hood
