Learning Through Experience and Emotion

Project Description

GLAFKA is actively involved in informal education activities that focus on strengthening critical thinking and developing emotional intelligence.

We believe in the power of storytelling to enhance learning and promote personal growth. Through authentic personal accounts – what we call "living books" – we aim to foster critical thinking and encourage a positive attitude towards inclusivity and social responsibility. These "living books" share their stories in both face-to-face and online settings, and we also offer thematic ebooks. We have developed comprehensive methodologies and educational programmes that effectively integrate real-life stories into the learning process.

            

Beyond storytelling, we utilise a variety of interactive tools and methods to cultivate critical thinking and emotional intelligence, such as:

• Exploring emotions through interactive experiences
• Discussing and reflecting on thought-provoking images
• Engaging in experiential learning activities connected to real-world situations
• Immersing participants in virtual reality experiences
• Using fairy tale characters, emoticons, and Dixit cards to spark creativity and encourage deeper understanding

In recent years, we have organised several successful Living Book Festivals.
