Purpose
The purpose of the project was to establish and test optional educational modules in each country for students of pre-school education. Each country prepared a module for 14 days according to educational, social and cultural context, related to pre-school education in each country. |

Training module in Maribor (7. 10. - 20. 10. 2018)
Emotional Learning and Puppet Theatre
The topic is integration of social sciences and art by teaching and learning of social-emotional skills with use of puppet theatre in early childhood education. Teaching and learning of social-emotional skills is essential for successful inclusion and socialization of the child to social environment. Social emotional skills, especially emotional competences are also very important for social inclusion and school achievements. Kindergarten teachers should promote learning and teaching of these skills through various methods. Drama play and creation of puppet performance are excellent methods for promoting students‘ abilities to perform, to understand and to learn about child’s perception and to express various themes through performances for children. Puppet theatre performances have a long tradition at Faculty of Education University of Maribor. Students really enjoy and have fun in creative process of preparing puppet performances. This module was an excellent opportunity for early childhood education students to experience how to teach children about important topics with innovative and creative methods.
