You write wonderful poems . Do you encourage the children in the centre to express their emotions by creating poetry ?
I would gladly encourage this impulse to every child who " reaches out " to poetry . It is music written in letters instead of notes . In my class , I play a variety of music in the backgroundusually classical and unobtrusive . Children definitely like the flow of sounds and poetry is a chance to make the speech beautiful and harmonious .
the pupils to focus . Also , specifically for parents , the centre offers consultations with a qualified astro-psychologist . The counselling is aimed at helping the adult to identify and understand the causes of one or other actions of the child , as well as to support him / her in achieving the goals in a fun and successful way . By examining the Star below which the child was born , coupled with a psychological analysis of these natural assets as well as their forms of manifestation , parents receive guidance on how to support their child to be happy , as it is , in his or her own way of life . Separately , we plan to create group activities for teenagers and , if interested , parents . The working version is titled " Life in Frame - Talks about Life or the Little Secrets of Great Wonders ". Our idea is to create a free , informal environment for sharing and solving problematic situations , overcoming obstacles in the development , forming and multiplying successful behavioural patterns .
Recently I watched a documentary about the Finnish educational system , in which teachers mention how important for them children ´ s happiness is . Unfortunately nowadays a lot of teachers and parents do not believe in this concept , however , I am glad to see that it is a golden rule for the art centre . Do you find the parents supportive and do you intend to introduce a special course for them ?
Finally , do you intend to cooperate with other centres in the world and work on mutual projects ?
Yes , we are open to cooperation and integrity . Knowledge for us must be shining and needs to be spread around the world . Our motto for every child , for every person , is " Let it Shine !
Our leading Dominant is Love . It is the basis of our model of working with children . The formula we apply is : Happy parents = happy children , and happy children are a guarantee for a happy future . In this regard , parents receive from the educators a weekly report , which shows the children ’ s work as well as recommendations and guidelines for helping www . angelsteps . eu e-mail : artcenter @ angelsteps . eu
