Connection of fairy tales and STEAM

Description

"Even young, children not only have a natural curiosity for STEAM, but they are also good at it! Preschool children are curious and Science encourage them on experimenting, problem solving and exploring. They are familiar with computers and Technology which are part of their life. Preschool children have so many questions and so many creative solutions, which is the main base of Engineering. Art develop children's creativity and allows children to illustrate concept they are learning. Art is a part of every childhood and helper in learning. Mathematics deals with numbers, but also with shapes and organizational skills like graphing and sorting. Children's play is intertwined with math.Partners of this project introduced each other before and had occasions to participate in e Twinning projects together, or some of us had occasion to speak with each other face to face on e Twinning conferences. All of us are preschool teachers and we concluded that STEAM should be much more included in preschool education.Children like fairy tales. They are a part of everyday learning. Fairy tales are interesting and many mysterious things happens in fairy tales. Many questions stay opened after reading fairy tales. We concluded that they can be an excellent base for STEAM activities in kindergartens. Our intention is to implement STEAM activities in our preschool institutions, to share knowledge with colleagues and enable children and preschool teachers to develop their 21st century skills.""Connection of fairy tales and STEM"" is our existed project on e Twinning platform. Until planning Erasmus project we decided to add Art, so the name of our K 229 is "" Connection of fairy tales and STEAM"". Partners are : 18th Kindergarten of Rhodes ( Greece), ""Detelina"" ( Vidin - Bulgaria ), Vrtec Dobrna ( Slovenia) and ""Nasa radost"" ( Subotica - Serbia). On our learning events participants will be preschool teachers and associates, parents,members of local Ministry of education, colleagues from other schools from our region. We will disseminate results of our project in various media, on web sites of our preschool institutions, on local and regional conferences, on actives of preschool teachers, on annual meetings of principals of preschool institutions of region. This is the way we will share our knowledge to others, who are not participants of e Twinning project. Our intention is to implement STEAM activities in our preschool institutions, to share knowledge with colleagues and enable children, preschool teachers and other participants to develop their 21st century skills:(1) Life-long learning skills(2) Interactively using different tools and resources (intellectual, cultural, linguistic, material, technical, physical, virtual )(3) Interacting with others( capacity to collaborate to face complexity, analyze demands, solve problems )(4) Interacting with the world ( multiculturalism, multi-religious, multilingual perspectives)(5) Multi-literalness(6) Transdisciplinarity: capacity to enable sophisticated solutions that integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines STEAM is relatively new for all of us but we will learn from each other and exchange good practices in order to include STEAM in our preschool institutions and kindergartens. There will also be an exchange of cultural, traditional and linguistic characteristic of countries using traditional fairy tales as the main source for introducing of differences and similarities. On our face to face LTT we will popularise STEAM method , tradition and culture of partner countries to wider audience.All partners of the project will organize public invitation for participation on LTT-s in partner countries for all preschool teachers, management and associates in their preschool institutions. Potential participants will write motivational letters in which they will write about their interests for improving of their practice, professional development plan, level of English knowledge. Members of Erasmus team and principal will choose participants who will travel according to motivational letters.Number of participants who will travel on LTT-s : Buglaria - 3, Serbia - 5, Greece - 2, Slovenia - 4 . On LTT-s we expect the next number of participants : Bulgaria - 80 , Serbia -100, Slovenia -30, Greece - 80 .Project coordinator ( Preschool institution "" Nasa radost"" from Subotica) will provide mutual communication, regular and careful implementation of planned project activities, recording and monitoring financial plan, taking care of the rational use of material resources, informing partners about activities, possible changes, producing reports, resolving mutual dispute and finding compromises.The main product of the project will be e- book ( guide for preschool teachers) "" Fairy tales and STEAM activities"". The access to this book will be available on all web sites of our preschool institutions and kindergartens, on e Twinning platform, on teacher's nets."
