During
winter 2004-05 the 350 children who came to our centre helped us
to develop a new concept of creative educational methods that we
are now utilizing for making workshops for teachers and school consultants.
During the last three years MMCC have reached 450.000 children with
its educational performances and workshops. Though the figure may
sound as a lot, our mobile artist’s capacity is still naturally
limited due to time and logistics. The teacher training workshops
are therefore an amazing opportunity for MMCC to introduce our creative
educational methods to a large number of schools – and thereby
to help us full filling MMCC’s overall goal of spreading fun
and joy to as many children in the country as possible.

During
a five day workshop teachers and school consultants practically create
and work with a large number of creative objects that are all very
easy to implement in a classroom. 3D
clay maps of Afghanistan; enlargement techniques; making timelines
of Afghanistan’s history, modeling with sponge; playing with
words and making poems are among the activities. |

The
teacher training this year consists of two parts. In the second
part we help the school consultants and teachers to implement the
creative methods in a school. This part start with an educational
entertaining performance by MMCC’s mobile artists.
In the five days implementing workshop the school consultants and teachers are each working with a group of children assisted by MMCC’s artists. Some work with painting, some with modeling, posters, enlargement or making puppets of papier-mâché. While one group creates their own educational theater play others are rehearsing two or three songs or making a back stage curtain. On
the final day, the children make their own performance assisted
by their teachers - now knowing how to do it again and again on
their own. |
