COME ON KIDS. THE NATURE WAITS FOR US PARTNERSHIP, CHANGE OF EXPERIENCE, INTERCULTURALITY, FRIENDSHIP!

The adventure began in March, when love for nature united us across borders, and the Erasmus Plus

Program was the framework that helped materialize this initiative initially initiated by the Cumhuriyet

anaokulu school unit - Turkey, Mersin. The voices that have responded to this call for love of nature have

been school units from Agrupamento de Escolas José Sanches and São Vicente da Beira - Portugal, JUDG

Detska Radost - Macedonia, Kohtla-Järve Lasteaed Tareke - Estonia and Kindergarten with P.P. The

Paradise of Children – Romania.

Come on kids! The nature waits for us! is the project of a strategic partnership to support the exchange

of best practices in school, projects only between schools through the Erasmus Plus program.

Our project aims to bring healthy and environmentally conscious children in early childhood with the

help of nature games. Our target group consists of 1,552 students in our partner schools, 3,104 parents and

73 teachers.

The project targets the objectives

- To support the children from early childhood so that they can be aware of the environment in which

they live and protect them as natural habitats,and to develop them as conscious individuals

-To see activities in different countries related to nature and transfer applications to schools

- Improve curriculum

- Removing children's insect phobia

- Keeping children away from computer, television and indoor areas and bringing them to nature

- Develop original games that can be played in nature all over the world in the early childhood

Romanian team presented a material regarding a curriculum on nature and environment in Romanian

education at the level of kindergarten, pointing out this topic in the daily program through the science centre,

the field of environmental knowledge, as well as the optional activities, where the choice of environmental

theme is the best way in which the curriculum on nature and the environment can be developed in Romania.

Starting from this material, the participants started discussions on the nature and environment curriculum.

The meeting with the specialists from the University - the Faculty of Agronomy – materialize through

the valuable information provided by them about plants and how we can make the pre-schoolers aware of the

importance of nature. There were offered materials that contributed to the enrichment of the kindergarten

centre.

The participants participated in demonstrative activities: in the psycho motoric field - a

theme dance - Peonies, as well as the activity in the optional ecology - a parade of ecological

costumes.


Wednesday - 21 February 2018

The WORKSHOP on thematic projects, nature and

environmental lesson projects began with the project aimed

at eliminating insect phobia in children. There have been

revealed similar and different aspects regarding the thematic

approach in the participating countries.


The international symposium was the appropriate framework for discussing the theme of the

meeting - the development of the nature curriculum - through the community - teachers from

partner schools, university professors, representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency,

representatives of the Romanian Waters. There were discussions, exchanges of good practices,

guest speakers, a ppt material on the theme of the symposium.


We initiated discussions on the curriculum regarding the school decision – the optional activities,

presenting a material on nature and environment activities. Thus, we answered questions about the time

spent on such activities, the fact that at the level of the Romanian education in kindergarten, only the

optional is mandatory, the choice of the theme is optional - health, road education, ecology, good manners,

etc. The curriculum on ecology can be enriched by choosing more teachers on the optional programs

concerning nature and the environment.

Extracurricular activities, besides the program are optional but a very good way to get to know nature

and the environment. There are presented projects / plans for this kind of activity, as well as pictures of

developed activities. The location of our kindergarten near Botanical Garden has the benefit of cultivating a

great deal of activities in this park.


Thursday- 22 February 2018


Discussions on extracurricular activities continued.

We presented the material about the outdoor game. Nature games were exemplified, participants

having interventions on the existence of the same games, differences, and the way they were doing.

Within the WORKSHOP there were discussions on the electronic magazine of this project, referring to

its content.

The conclusions of the meeting were drafted. All activity was evaluated by applying a questionnaire to

the participants.

Certificates have been issued …
