 The whole preparation for the workshop was challenging and supportive at the same time. First of all, we learned more about our topic “Acton in the early years”. Everyone had his/her own ideas and vision of it. We shared our information and learned from each other. Second, we practiced our presentation and had a successful workshop. And finally, I want to tell about our team “Risk-takers”, which was supportive, we had so much fun while our preparation and become good friends.

My reflection on this year’s workshop, how do I say this? I think that this workshop has connected me and my co-workers, we had a great team that worked very well with each other. We all had great ideas to share and explore in this workshop. Everyone was stepping up with helping others with our workshop and we really achieved our goals together as a team!

I have learned our aim is, through inquiry, to have the children come up with responsible, thoughtful, and meaningful action that will make an impact. This impact does not have to be earth-shattering for the world. It does have to connect with their learning, giving a sense of purpose to their learning through experience and enabling their voice to shine through. This is extremely empowering. Think about the impact that taking action has on you; from checking off your daily to-do list, to accomplishing a marathon event. (or a marathon! Haha! )  The impact begins with how you feel about yourself and, depending on the action, can have a domino effect in that it affects others in your immediate community, wider community or even globally. Regardless of the extent of the ripple effect of your action, it becomes empowering!

Working on the workshop was interesting and informative. Especially when you do it with a good team. We have learned that taking action during children’s earliest years helps ensure a high degree of prevention and fosters equal chances for all at a crucial moment in life. It calls for action beginning with pregnancy, or even earlier, and continuing until age five. Every child is born with an enormous potential for learning; however, it is important to keep in mind the crucial role the environment plays in enabling children to lay solid foundations and grow up to become healthy and well-balanced adults.
