Education for fostering Spiritual Intelligence
The main task is to create a learning environment that develops a child’s Spiritual Intelligence using a newly created methodology - creative, game-based methods for the balanced development of other important thinking strategies.
The programs will raise children's self-confidence, unleash their inner creative potential, raise awareness of personal resources, develop children's emotional intelligence, thus increasing children's well-being.
The approach will implement the following values in education
- A person is formed who is aware of his or her identity (talents, character strengths and weaknesses),
- A person with high social skills is formed,
- A person is formed who is able to create, build,
- A person who is aware of the meaning and values of life is formed,
- A person who is aware of his personal philosophy is formed,
- A person of firm spirit and strong character is brought up.
- The learning process is filled with methods of therapeutic effects that have a healing effect, strengthens children's personality, immunity and physical, psychological and mental health.
