Description
The course aims to integrate Sir Ken Robinson’s 8Cs into the educational practices of participants, fostering creativity and innovation in their teaching methods. The course will help educators develop key skills in their students — curiosity, creativity, criticism, communication, collaboration, compassion, composure, and citizenship — and apply these in their teaching practices.
Through hands-on, experiential learning, teachers not only understand the theoretical basis of these skills but also practice using them in ways that they can adapt and apply in their own educational contexts.
