THE WORK OF OUR TEAM WILL BE FOCUSED ON THREE TOPICS THIS YEAR: THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATION REFLECTIONS IN ORDER TO DISCOVER WHICH SPACES, MATERIALS OR RESOURCES IMPROVE BETTER CHILDRENS DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS. CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: HOW TO GET INVOLVED THEM.

PART I: CHILDREN WITH SPECIALS NEEDS Audiovisual resources are pretty important to work with autistic children. As a result, we have created this kind of display to present them our daily routines, activities or staff. Therefore, autistic children may feel more confortable with the schedule.

PART II: AN EXAMPLE OF CHILDRENS PARTICIPATION IN A FIVE YEARS OLD CLASS “BAILANDO” BY ENRIQUE IGLESIAS

SUMMER FESTIVAL OUR SCHOOL CELEBRATES A FESTIVAL AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. EACH CLASS PREPRARES A PERFORMANCE. STEP I: ALL CHILDREN WERE QUESTIONED IF THEY WANTED TO PARTICIPATE ON THE FESTIVAL OR NOT. ALL OF THEM SAID YES.

STEP II: CHILDREN VOTED THEIR FAVORITE SONG

THEN, WE GRAPHED THE DATA AND WE LEARNT ORDINAL NUMBERS TO ORGANIZE OURSELVES ON THE PERFORMANCE.

STEP III: CHILDREN CHOSE THEIR CUSTOMES AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE THEY HAD THREE OPTIONS TO GET DRESS: FREE STYLE URBAN STYLE “FLAMENCO DANCERS”

REFLECTIONS THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATION HAS MADE POSSIBLE TO HEAR OUR CHILDREN’S VOICES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. CONSEQUENTLY, WE HAVE NOTICED A HUGE MOTIVATION ON NEW LEARNING.
