The main objective of the project was to make a part of the broader Montessori methodology available to all professionals who are employed in the world of children's education with particular reference to the 2-6 age group, responding to a demand for the development of a quality educational system from the earliest years as a priority. The introduction of this methodology within the educational curriculum aims to increase the quality of children's learning through hands-on exercises that go to stimulate cognitive processes thus increasing numeracy and language skills in addition to motor skills and psycho-motor coordination. Teachers who took part in this project also acquired skills related to the organization of the educational learning environment and new skills in conducting classroom activities. In order to achieve the set training objectives, different training activities aimed at teachers were designed in which young students from partner schools were also able to participate. At the conclusion of the training activities, a manual was created and made available to a wide audience of stakeholders that is intended as a guideline and best practices for implementing some activities within learning environment.
The reason for which this project consortium was created was related to a need to raise the quality of educational offerings aimed at children in the 2-6 age group, through training on the Montessori method for teachers: in schools in the Project partner countries Turkey and Lithuania, this pedagogy is not applied. Teachers in these institutions present basic knowledge regarding the montessori method, which is why the project was born is to train teachers and implement some activities of this methodology in the classrooms. The method turns out to be scientifically efficient given its practical matrix, and the training aimed at teachers that has been planned is useful to deepen certain issues related to the implementation of the method within the school curriculum by offering an important pedagogical support to students especially because the montessori method was born for children with special educational needs therefore turns out to be adequate to fill educational gaps where there are special educational needs. In addition, the project for its dimension of transnational cooperation between educational institutions is an important opportunity for all participants to develop European awareness and active citizenship.
