Izvleček
Kot vzgojni kader imamo velik vpliv na otrokov odnos do narave in sočloveka. Če ga pravilno usmerimo, lahko dosežemo zelo pomembne in vidne spremembe. Vključenost Vrtca Beltinci v nacionalni projekt PCV je razkrila številne pomanjkljivosti in vrzeli, a tudi prednosti in napredek našega vrtca na področju trajnostnega razvoja. S pomočjo načrtovanih dejavnosti smo pri otrocih razvijali večjo ozaveščenost o pomenu trajnostnega razvoja, sodelovanja in medsebojnih odnosov, skrbi za zdravje, gibanja, varovanja narave in samooskrbe. Izveden je bil Festival za okolje s šestimi različnimi dogodki, ki so bili vezani na trajnostno mobilnost, zdravo prehrano, duševno zdravje, splošno zdravje, eko dan za okolje in na koncu še skupno srečanje kot povzetek vsega usvojenega in narejenega.
Abstract
Small Steps Change Our World
Educators can profoundly shape children‘s attitudes towards nature and fellow humans. By steering them right, we can make a substantial and noticeable difference. The Beltinci Kindergarten‘s participation in the national Climate Goals in Education initiative has exposed some weaknesses and inconsistencies of our kindergarten. However, it also highlighted its strengths and progress in sustainable development. We raised children‘s awareness of the necessity of sustainable development, collaboration and interdependence, health care, exercise, environmental protection, and self-sufficiency through the scheduled activities. The Festival for the Environment took place with six events related to sustainable mobility, healthy eating, mental health, general health, an Eco Day for the Environment, and a joint follow-up meeting to summarise what had been learned and done.
