Erasmus + Erdkinder Montessori for Adolescents training in Neveshir, Turkey
During the first days in September Ewa Stawecka, our new IB Program Director, together with Janek Opawski, a 1st year student of Warsaw Montessori High School took part in the Erasmus + Erdkinder Montessori for Adolescents training event in Neveshir, Turkey.
Participants from the Czech Republic, Romania, Greece and Turkey shared their experiences and visions on “children of the earth” education.
Sessions were held in a well equipped Toki Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi High School. We were cordially received by the director of the School and by all the teachers who spent some time with us as they were curious about our way of teaching methods. Sessions, among others were on Turkish National Educational System, teaching science at a Montessori School in the Czech Republic and etc. In the end, each representative was recorded while presenting his or her school.
Personally, I was impressed by the winner of “The Best Teacher of the Year” award.
Fatma Gumustekin who organized a Montessori Toddlers rooms in the school.
We also had a chance to see some historical sites of Cappadocia, like a UNESCO World Heritage Goreme Open Air Museum or Selime monastery.
Our wonderful guide Ali GOZUBEK bent over backwards to make us feel great.
We returned empowered by the fact that Montessori Family is growing and uniting people.
