Now you can take part in the thoughts of both the children and the educators in an exhibition at Ystad Art Museum. The exhibition offers interview films, drawings, clay figures and a 160 cm high ant colony with both an elevator and an advanced communication system. Here is Topsy the pig with her twelve eyes that “everyone can love” according to the children. You can read literature that inspired the Kosmos Preschool pedagogy, and during the summer you can try out games that have been developed in collaboration between the children and the educators, such as “Dad’s Shoes”. How does it really feel to walk in someone else’s shoes?
The children and the educators have worked with big and important questions in relation to Stortorget and the urban environment. Questions about democracy, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, climate and norm creativity. The educators have always been sensitive to the children’s thoughts. They have used methods based on the hundred-language approach, which is part of the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy, to capture each child’s different ways of expressing themselves.
