The conference was a summary of the IMPETUS -TOC project implemented under the ERASMUS PLUS program. The conference was held on the 29.08.2022.
The event was co-organized by:
-
- Niepubliczna Szkoła Podstawowa „LOKOMOTYWA”
- Centrum Nauki EXPERYMENT Strona główna | Centrum Nauki Experyment w Gdyni
- Gdyński Ośrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli w Gdyni GODN. Gdyński Ośrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli – Zapraszamy! (godn.eu)
The conference was held in the building of the Experyment Science Center, in Gdynia. The conference was attended by teachers, methodological advisors, school principals from the Tri-City area and surrounding areas, but also partners from Lithuania and Italy.
The conference was informative and training, as well as practical – thanks to the workshop activities. Its purpose was to present the results and share their experience of participation in the European project Erasmus PLUS ” Impetus- TOC”.
The conference was opened by Jakub Gorski, director and co-founder of NSP Lokomotywa, and Kathy Suerken, TOCfE global president. In addition to NSP Lokomotywa teachers, speakers included project partners from Lithuania and Sicily. The audience was able to learn about TOC tools, deepen their knowledge and test it in practice. During the conference, the project partners shared knowledge and good practices in the use of tools in education to develop thinking and communication and support students’ proficiency. Due to the post-project nature of the conference, the speeches became at the same time an encouragement to take advantage of foreign exchanges and participation in projects, especially international ones, which allow to get acquainted with solutions developed in educational institutions abroad. TOC tools were discussed in relation to other tools used in teaching/learning and educational work. In turn, the workshop showed how the development of the 4K key competencies can be combined at school. During the conference, teachers from partner schools presented the benefits of such a combination. They talked about their teaching work with the use of TOC in conjunction with school mediation, methods developing creative thinking, empathy-based or needs-centered communication. An important element of the project was the implementation of TOC tools at school for the implementation of the core curriculum and during extra-curricular activities.
