NGO «Ecosphere» held a training seminar for teachers of Mukachevo territorial community

With­in the frame­work of the project «Con­struct­ing bird sanc­tu­ar­ies to devel­op pro­tect­ed wet­lands areas in Zakarpat­tia» on 24 June, NGO «Ecos­phere» held a train­ing sem­i­nar for 16 teach­ers of Mukache­vo ter­ri­to­r­i­al com­mu­ni­ty. The organization’s spe­cial­ists pre­sent­ed to teach­ers a method­ol­o­gy for con­duct­ing train­ing ses­sions with school­child­ren based on the author’s pro­gram «Wet­lands».

The aim of the sem­i­nar was to famil­iarise teach­ers with train­ing for­mats and meth­ods, com­bin­ing the­o­ry with prac­tice.

Dur­ing the sem­i­nar par­tic­i­pants dis­cussed:

• learn­ing styles and impor­tance of organ­is­ing the learn­ing process in a way that makes it inter­est­ing and ensures that all stu­dents are involved;
• meth­ods that can be used to make learn­ing more inter­est­ing;
• the use of game-based approach­es dur­ing the work with chil­dren and imple­ment­ing envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion activ­i­ties.
