Programme

The course is divided into a Basic Course and a Workshop.

Basic Course (6 ECTS)
The course aims to develop the professional skills required to make the context of the integrated 0-6 system inclusive. Through the development of teaching design skills for an inclusive environment, the course proposes play, performing arts and narrative practices as effective ways for all children to learn and participate.

Workshop (3 ECTS):
The Workshop aims to explore the specific contents of special pedagogy within the educational context dedicated to early childhood.
During the workshop, students will experience moments of shared reflection and debate (also thanks to the presence of scholars/experts in early childhood issues). In addition, students will work in groups, producing written and/or multimedia works that will give an account of the in-depth study they have carried out and that will be able to guide them in their future profession.
