Polytechnic University has begun implementing the Service Learning program, aimed at solving real social problems with the help of students and teachers. The Higher School of Linguistics and Pedagogy of the Humanitarian Institute has been particularly active in its implementation. The program has developed initiatives to support children and families in difficult life circumstances, including those whose loved ones are on duty. One of the key partners of the project is the Family and Children Assistance Center of the Kalininsky District of St. Petersburg.
The first event within the program was held at the Kalininsky District Family and Children Assistance Center. Students and teachers of the Psychological and Pedagogical Education program held a series of psychological games designed to develop communication skills and unite the participants.
The children completed trust exercises, learned to interact in a team and overcome game challenges. The atmosphere was friendly and open. The students not only passed on useful skills to the children, but also gained valuable experience working with a mixed-age group of children.
It is very pleasant to interact with children who are ready to work. The children worked hard, doing various exercises, quickly joined in and helped each other. Seeing the bright emotions of children after the exercises and feeling their friendly atmosphere is something that deserves special attention, – shared her impressions 1st year student Ekaterina Katashuk.
The children were very active, worked well in a team and learned a lot. The atmosphere was friendly and positive for everyone throughout the event! – said first-year student Veronika Lipkina.
The Service Learning program at SPbPU is actively developing, uniting students, teachers and social partners to solve important social problems. A special role in the implementation of the initiative is played by the Higher School of Linguistics and Pedagogy of the Humanitarian Institute, which has become one of the key platforms for the implementation of the program.
In the near future, it is planned to attract more participants, as well as introduce new methods aimed at increasing the effectiveness of working with children. Particular attention is paid to the use of modern technologies in the educational process. One of such innovations will be an interactive sandbox – innovative equipment that helps to simulate various situations, develop children’s imagination, fine motor skills and spatial thinking.
The implementation of the program not only helps children who find themselves in difficult life circumstances, but also contributes to the professional and personal growth of students. Such experience allows future specialists to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, develop social responsibility and strengthen important teamwork skills.
