Workshop: Wonderful Education
YMCA of Greater Vancouver
This workshop is demonstrating teachers the importance of wonder in ECE. Through multiple hands-on activities, games and group tasks, participants will be shown strategies that help keeping wonder alive in children and fortify this innate foundation of childhood against later social and cultural strains. Participating in this workshop will help educators be able to see the “wonders” of the usual and to erase the dangers of a routinized teaching.

The sense of wonder is one of the most natural and present abilities of all children. Our workshop will engage with the sense of hearing and the power of sound as a learning tool. Sound is a pedagogical material that, even if untouchable, is always present . Children feel, see, and acknowledge sound in a multitude of ways.
