Context - Early Childhood Education and Care
​
The children are natural movers and the physical activities function as a basis for their development, well-being and health. When children move, they think, experience joy, express their feelings and learn new things. The child's physical activity is not based on competition, but on joy and play.
The learning environment not only strengthens the child’s natural movement challenges and motivates them to play and learn, but also takes into account individual learning styles and encourages all children to play and move. A learning environment that allows children to do independent physical activity also awakens the children’s desire to learn new things and inspires to develop their own skills.
The seminar gives an opportunity to share experiences and discover new approaches how to encourage children to move and be physically active, and how to utilize the learning environments diversely. The contact seminar brings together early childhood education and care professionals from different European countries, giving them the possibility to network and learn from the ideas and practices from the European colleagues. The seminar aims to produce project ideas and project proposals for the Erasmus+ KA2 strategic partnerships.
