Among many abilities and skills that facilitate young children’s sound development, resilience has emerged as an important psychological constituent especially in confronting the unpredictable future of the world such as the COVID-19 pandemic and global warming.
Numerous reports on the increased stress and mental illness of children during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted us to launch a collaborative survey on the factors affecting children’s resilience among Asian countries. Using the network of researchers and practitioners in childcare (Child Research Network Asia: CRNA), we have conducted a questionnaire survey among mothers of 5-year-old children in 8 Asian countries.

Today Cypriot Resilient Preschools teachers participated in the pilot implementation which took via 2 online training sessions in Cyprus

The RESILIENT PRESCHOOLS partnership has been meeting online since December 2020 to develop, test & deliver high quality and evidence-based resources for preschools educators, based on the principles from Positive Psychology and the PERMA model.

International Hellenic University (IHU) was invited to participate in the International Week (16-19 November 2021) organized by the Artevelde University of Applied Sciences, Bachelor of Preschool Education in Gent, Belgium. During this week IHU conducted three workshops entitled “Positive Education: Supporting children’s Positive Behaviors”, where academics and students from several EU countries had the opportunity to be informed about the “Resilient Preschools” project. In total 110 individuals (academics, teaching staff and students) participated in the workshops, where they were trained in selected activities of IO2 and they encouraged to visit the project’s website as well as project’s social media to find more information about the project.

OUR AIM

RESILIENT PRESCHOOLS Project will create material for practical applications and guidance to Preschool Teachers on how to utilise Positive Psychology when teaching young children.

WHY

Early education teachers sometimes tend to focus on academic performance and less on social-emotional skills. But children need a more holistic approach that emphasizes their own capacities and character strengths, that will enable them to adapt efficiently to a fast pacing world with constant changes and challenges.
