Back in Jenin

it has been a long day.

At 4am this morning I was sat on a bus in a snowy, icy Stockholm heading for the airport.

Eleven hours later I arrived in sunny. warm Jenin.
Here will be my home from home for the next 10 days.

Ten days filled with play explorations.
This time I will be leading two courses... a beginners and an advanced course.
I will be exploring play, child development, pedagogy methods and approaches, documentation, the third teacher and listening - through presentations, dialogues and hands-on play-workshops.

We will explore freedom, collaboration and equality through play and learning in early childhood

I will be taking lots of photos, notes and sharing reflections here in this blog.
So please keep checking if you are interested in following this Palestinian adventure.
