Training 2009
Courses in English language at Pikler Institute in 2009
Summer Course at Pikler Institute June 22. - July 03., 2009 Emmi Pikler's name is more and more well-known among pedagogues working with young children. All around the world, many parents, according to her principles, provide more freedom to their child, already from the birth; it helps make their life together with the youngest member of the family a peaceful one, and to avoid using - even unintended - force of violence in education. The application of the Piklerian principles is becoming widespread also in day-care centers and nursery homes that raise infants and young children, complementary or substituting for the family. For the two-week long, English speaking course we expect the application of those who are interested, and who would like to gain information directly from the Pikler Institute in Budapest and deepen their knowledge about the early childhood education through learning about our most important pedagogical principles, everyday experiences, and also about the results of research carried out by the Pikler Institute. During the course we will discuss the importance of self-initiated movement and development of play, its inner regularities, the often overlooked stages of this development, and of course the conditions of such development. We shall also talk about the less-known aspect of Piklerian pedagogy - the importance of careful and attentive physical care, its basic principles and the actual components of the "technique". And last but not least we shall discuss and compare the characteristic features of the parent-child relationship and the relationship between the child and the professional caretaker - educator, nurse. The topics will be elaborated on by presenting inner materials of the institute, research results and practical experience, by watching and analyzing photos and video scenes, by personal practice and by discussing the questions raised by the participants. The course will be led by Anna Tardos, psychologist and several other experienced members of the institute will also join the course. *** Typewritten applications should be submitted included a short summary of the applicant's professional activity, knowledge and experience of the Piklerian ideas.
