Last Saturday the V Trobada d'Educació Infantil a la Marina Alta took place in Ondara promoted by the Department of Education of the Ondarense City Council, directed by the councilor Mar Chesa. Aimed especially at teachers from 0 to 6 years of age, it had a full capacity of almost a hundred people.
Chesa describes the meeting as a complete success, given the high participation and the very positive assessment that the attendees have made. Among them, early childhood educators and teachers who, under the theme "Educational transformation processes", enjoyed an interesting training proposal.
The meeting was co-organized by "Tardes Pedagógicas" and had the collaboration of the IES Xebic de Ondara, the Municipal Nursery School of Verger and the Joaquina Gavilà Municipal Nursery School of Ondara.
The V Trobada d'Educació Infantil had the telematic presence of Gino Ferri, Italian pedagogue and teacher advisor in Catalonia and the Valencian Community, who offered the conference «Educational transformation, challenges, obstacles and opportunities». In this way, he urged education professionals to rethink the educational process based on knowledge, rethinking the objectives of Education and giving importance to meaning and values in learning, in order to adapt educational practices to society and current culture.
The role of the school and, specifically, of the infant stage, is to contribute to the integral formation of the person from constant thought and reflection, educating active and critical citizens, supportive and protagonists of their lives and focusing on the learning as a process derived from experience and not as a result. And from these premises, the speakers from Tardes Pedagógicas (Alicante), CEIP Mediterrànea (Calp) and CEIP l'Arbre blanc (Mutxamel), shared with the rest of the attendees their practical application and their projects, inside and outside the classroom, in its path of evolution towards educational transformation.
For its part, Chesa, in addition to thanking the Education inspector, Andreu Almiñana, and the management teams of the municipality's educational centers for their assistance, highlighted the success of participation, the regional benchmark for this training and the positive assessment of the people attendees encouraging the continuity of this annual meeting as a training opportunity that aims to bring the 2 infant cycles closer.
