DAY 2
We started our work and experience sharing today. First of all we visited Gaia School.
Gaia School is a community school in Tallinn. It
was founded three years ago and currently has classes up to form 5. There are
66 students, 26 of them homeschooling students. Gaia School is following the
national curriculum but is different in the means of teaching approach. Gaia
school follows the principles of Gaia Education; it promotes sustainable
lifestyle, caring about the Earth and wellbeing of the human being. Gaia school
is a community school, our parents, children and teachers form a community
where everybody has a role of the teacher and a student, we learn from each
other.
During our visit we could see some lessons, talk to students and teachers, discuss methods they use in school.
Next useful stop was Youth Agency, where wonderful Anna Kuzina introduced us different projects, connected to cooperations between formal education institutions and youth organizations supported by program Erasmus +
Youth Agency is the Estonian Centre for Quality and International Cooperation in the youth field.We are a department of Archimedes Foundation founded in 1997.
Youth Agency is responsible for capacity building in the youth field with a special focus on international cooperation. Our activities can be divided into three main areas: supporting the development of young people, enhancing the quality of youth work and shaping youth policy.
During the way from tallinn to sillamäe we had lots of things to discuss and think about.
