This year’s first training session took place on September 28, within the Pre-Texts educational program, dedicated to teachers.
Pre-Texts is a learning protocol developed by the Cultural Agents organization, a program which stimulates critical thinking, creativity and active participation with the help of literary texts. Its purpose is to outline a new way of teaching, which encourages children to become active readers and to develop cognitive and emotional skills so necessary during academic training, but also throughout adult life.
This year, the training sessions will be attended by 30 teachers from two schools that are part of the Cluj School Network, the \”Anghel Saligny\” Technical College and The \”Kozmutza Flora\” Special School for the Deaf.
In order to ensure a practical and useful experience, our colleague Cristina Rogoz will offer individual support to teachers. Also, in order to introduce the STEAM education-related notions, the teachers will have access to practical workshops that will give them a clearer picture of how science disciplines can become students\’ favorites.
These sessions will take place throughout October, with a follow-up period ending in December.
Pre-Texts training sessions are part of the Learning QUB program, funded by the Botnar Foundation.
