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.

FIRST MEETING IN ESTONIA. DAY 1

5th December 2016

Today is the first day of our first project mobility in Estonia.

Both teams from Lithuania and Iceland arrived to Tallinn, where met  Estonian team representative,  charming Raine!

Now teachers and youth workers can feel how it is to work and learn when it is Christmas feeling around ;) and undertsand better, how to  motivate youngsters to learn and be active these days of December.


How about using such non-formal methods as:
-going to Christmas market and learning traditions of celebrating Christmas instead of reading boring texts in classroom about this topic
-orienteerng in old town and getting feeling of people moods before Christmas
-meeting new people form different countries and practising language skills
?
