Kelvin:
Each of them has a biography. They are not play
dolls. They visit children at a special time called a
session. During the sessions, children learn about
human differences - skin colour, people with special
needs, what special aids they use.
In addition, children solve problems that arise every
day in kindergarten, they analyze situations that
lead to aggression and find a solution for each one.
Through methodology we develop child analytical
skills - they make a difference between good and
bad behaviour, develop the courage to stand out
from others, and also get to know yourself.
Besides, in the project plan we have fixed special
weeks of differences. We meet each partner country
- its culture and traditions. We make Skype
connections with children from partner institutions.
We implement complex activities that teach how to
be tolerant to the different: through theatre, plays,
books, thematic walls.
Albena:
The haedteacher of my kindergarten was very
excited about the topic of the project and wrote the
story “Looking for friends." The children made this
story into a theatre play. And we invited guests
from all over Bulgaria to introduce them to Persona
Dolls methodology.
The results we expect at the end of the project in
2018:
Kaloian:
Children improve self-assessment and self-
esteem; they are more positive about the
differences and are not afraid to be
different.
Acquiring courage and habits for self-
assessment and understanding of the
different.
Acquiring skills to solve problematic
situations through the Persona Dolls
methodology.
Developing self-expression and
communicativeness.
As a bonus, children learn new words in different
European languages.
At the end of the project, we expect, based on the
information that children have received, to increase
their tolerance and empathy towards differences at
all. Not only to peers.
These are some photos from the sessions:
