International eTwinning Seminar for Kindergarten Staff in Esbjerg, in the South West of Denmark

[English version] Target group: Educational staff and leaders from children's institutions. In addition to our Danish participants we welcome kindergarten staff from the other Nordic and the Baltic countries. Thematics: "Nordic Kindergarten Pedagogy meets & plays with technology"

In total, we bring together 40-45 educational staff and leaders across these countries for 3 days of intensive and playful collaboration.

We challenge ourselves and each other under the common theme 'Nordic daycare pedagogy meets and plays with technology. We will particularly try to bring the curriculum theme' Nature, outdoor life and science' into play, prioritizing interaction and playing with digital tools - but in a European context.

We're inviting kindergarten practioners from the Nordic and Baltic countries to this event

"We would like to invite you to Denmark to participate in an eTwinning workshop focusing on digitalization, playful learning and technology in kindergartens, as well as outdoor. The workshop will also focus on your European network so that you will have one or more partners for future collaborations and projects when you leave on Friday. Throughout the workshop there will be inspiration, presentations, information about Danish/Nordic pedagogy and playful learning with new technology."

The seminar will include both short presentations and lots of practical activities, where participants learn together and plan small eTwinning projects / cooperations, which they can then complete with their own groups of children across the countries. The working language will be English, but it is unpretentious and practically oriented: gestures, drawings, pocket videos and sign language can and will also be used.
