Between memory, culture and education 0-6

Job shadowing in Berlin

The Erasmus+ mobility led 1 pedagogue, 2 kindergarten teachers and 1 nursery educator in Berlin, an experience that combined intense cultural immersion with valuable job shadowing in the city's 0-6 educational services.

Since their arrival, the participants have explored Berlin's rich and often touching historical heritage. Among the highlights, the visit to the Topography of Terror, Check Point Charlie and the Memorial for Murdered Jews in Europe offered moments of profound reflection on the impact of history. The Brandenburg Gate and the East Side Gallery have also helped to outline the complex identity of the German capital, which has proved to be iridescent and full of contradictions. The varied architecture, from historic elements to modern structures such as St. Hedwig's Church, and the effervescence of areas such as Alexander Platz and the areas along the Spree, have completed a vibrant picture of the city.

The heart of the Erasmus+ experience was job shadowing at Kita Haubach and Kita Olbersstrasse. The participants were divided into pairs, alternating visits to the two services to maximize observation and comparison. The reception was courteous and well organized, with staff dedicated to guiding the experiences. The opportunity to interact with school staff from different backgrounds, including an Italian educator, has further enriched the exchange.

International mobility has made it possible to get to know local educational practices up close and to start a first elaboration of the observations made, often in significant places such as the Tempelhof park.

Services involved: Anna Serra kindergarten plexus 2, Marighetto, La Trottola kindergarten.
