IMPRESSIONS OF THE PROJECT PARTICIPANTS
Running an Erasmus + project has multiple consequences, impacting on both the
direct beneficiary of education and on the wider community. The Erasmus +
"Fearless child makes a cheerful child" project implemented by no. 37 Kindergarten
with extended program "Dumbrava Minunata"( Wonderful Grove) offered children
the opportunity to diversify the range of educational activities that lead to optimal
emotional, cognitive and physical development. Widening knowledge, ensuring the
emotional climate that results in knowing one's own limits and identifying the
resources to overcome it, the games of inner cognition and the stimulation of
communication at all levels (verbal, nonverbal, artistic, etc.), values such as
tolerance, interculturality, celebration of diversity are benefits for the children
involved in this project. From the point of view of the professional community,
teachers have the opportunity to improve their educational practices by sharing
their experience with project partners. Knowing the specifics of other educational
systems, different teaching methods, duplicated by teamwork and identifying new
methods, new working tools, result in the perfecting of the didactic style and the
managerial style. All these experiences are shared at county level through
methodology activities. Parents are permanent partners and indirect beneficiaries
of the educational process. Children's experiences, discussions with teachers,
actual participation in some activities also lead to the sharing of parenting
experience and conscious intervention in educating their own child. The local
community is involved in the work of the project, having an impact on the
awareness of the importance of early education in becoming an adult, as well as
the awareness of the European dimension and its importance in the educational
system and in the current society. I wish the best to no. 37 Kindergarten with
extended program "Dumbrava Minunata" and may they continue their professional
activity at the same level of performance ".
