Our Turkish experience - ITALY

Here is our team!

Mascia Marconi, Alessandra Ferrari, Elisa Allegretti, Alessandra Soncini,

Cristina Boschini, Rossella Dalai, Sara Soli



Curious and fascinated by the surrounding, any occasion is good to take photos!

At last we reach the Turkish preschool Ted Istanbul Koleji

Entering the main hall, we notice with great pleasure a big panel retracing the last Turkish visit in Italy.

According  to the programme we can visit the school spaces, take part in the  daily school activities and concentrate on the observation focuses, such as Planning, Autonomy and Polisensoriality.

The afternoons are dedicated to pedagogical exchange as well as cultural visits to Istanbul’s most interesting sightseeings.

Observing the school...

We appreciate the large diversified spaces full of structured materials;

We find several specific classrooms dedicated to music, art, IT and PE;

In particular in the music space we notice a lot of different musical instruments and other sound materials that are useful to improve the children’ s musical language and to get them involved in these activities.

We see in each spaces panels showing the activities in progress through pictures and drawings; every corner is identified by a visible functional sign.

We go around also the outdoor spaces where the children have the opportunity to experiment the body language;

Finally we are surprised by the numerous and different  activities proposed during the day and by the children’s level of attention.

As a conclusion, we find a different approach in comparison to our pedagogical method that opens our minds towards other ways to develop children’s education.
