Course Description
During this course, participants will discover the most relevant educational approaches for children that emerged in Europe from the 20th century onward.
Waldorf (Steiner) education, the Montessori Method and Loris Malaguzzi’s Reggio Emilia method will be discussed in an interactive way. This will include comparing the different theories and involving participants in an active reflection about their way of teaching and the importance of the child being the protagonist of his/her development.
A part of the course will be dedicated to Bruno Munari’s method “Playing with Art”. A short introduction about the alternative Catalan non-directive education panorama will also be included, as well as an overview on Positive Education and Positive Psychology.
The outcome of all of this is the activation of a thought-provoking learning process. Participants will practice critical and creative thinking skills, inspired by the alternative methods mentioned above. Independence, freedom, creativity, child-centeredness, respect, and global development are the keywords of the course.
At the end, participants will have the chance to create a project for their school that incorporates the knowledge acquired, following a Design Thinking process.

The course I attended was called "The Child First: Montessori, Emilia Reggio System and Contemporary Approaches to Pre-School Education". Experience was very productive, I learned a lot and I could apply most of the activities exemplified. The teacher was very attentive that we understood all the parts of the training.
