INNOVATION THROUGH ETVINNING PROJECT WORK "MAGICAL WORLD OF COLORS" FOR FORMING KEY COMPETENCES IN PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The preschool age is suitable for laying the foundations of both cognitive skills and entrepreneurial competences and emotional intelligence in children. What we bet on is introducing young children to colors, because from a psychological point of view they strongly influence emotions. By developing the emotional intelligence of children already at preschool age, we can also work on forming the other key competencies of the 11th century - critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, entrepreneurship. The ability to read one's own and other people's emotions, not to be afraid of one's emotions and not to suppress them, to use and accept them as a normal part of one's life is the beginning of the formation of other competencies as well. In this report we present innovative activities from the eTwinning project "Magical World of Colors". The results we focused our attention on are for children to become familiar with the main colors, their shades, qualities and properties, in order to contribute to the construction of an artistic sense, an aesthetic sense and mastery of knowledge and skills that would lead to the successful formation of key competencies.
