The training for teachers includes:
1. Active participation in classes conducted by our experts with children in the first 4 weeks (4 hours per week for each teacher - 16 hours)
2. An intensive week's course for teachers after school - two hours a day (10 hours)
3. Conducting classes by teachers using the acquired skills under the supervision of the experts (3 weeks 4 hours per week for each teacher - 12 hours)
Intensive week of study (10 hours)

1) Learning to use the CDs with rhymes and songs (1h)
2) Methodology of learning songs and rhymes; presentation of songs and rhymes with movement; the use of flashcards, combining them with rhymes and songs (4h)
3) Drama techniques: sculpture, still-frames, improvised dialogue and staging used in teaching (4h)
