Working systemically in the daycare center 2020-2022

Important Info:

The final module will take place in GÖRLITZ:

University Campus, Brückenstraße 1

 

Systemic work in crèches, day nurseries and after-school care centers (basic course) and systemic consultant (advanced course)

Part-time continuing education programs leading to certificates from the German Society for Systemic Pedagogy and Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences:

Basic Course 2020: “Systemic Educator / Daycare” (DGsP)
Advanced Course 2021/22: “Systemic Consultant / Systemic Educator” (DGsP)

 

With its appreciative and solution-focused approaches and methodological tools, the systemic approach offers new and concrete ideas for working with children and their families, teams, service providers, and partners.
Within the daycare/after-school care system, the systemic perspective can take broader contexts into account and thereby reveal solutions that empower all those involved. Developing a personal attitude and relational competence supports professionalism in the field of early childhood education at all levels.

This systemic continuing education program is divided into a basic course and an advanced course. You can decide during the course whether the advanced course is a good fit for you and register for it as the course progresses.
