Community Move!
|
Community Move! is Project Commotion’s adult education program, offering interactive workshops that link movement to the foundations of healthy development, learning and self-awareness.
Each year, PC brings our workshops to early childhood centers, colleges and conferences, spreading awareness about the need for gross motor play in the lives of both children and adults. By spreading our knowledge about the deep, life-long benefits of movement and play, we inspire young professionals, families and future teachers to incorporate more physical activity into the lives of the children they care for and serve. Presenters discuss the science behind the brain-body connection and demonstrate how movement can support whole child development. Participants get to experience the learning themselves as they return to some of their favorite childhood activities: playing, rolling, spinning, jumping and even spending some time upside-down. Always a fun and engaging learning experience, PC’s Community Move! Workshops aim to improve adult-child interactions and enhance learning environments by reminding adults that we can learn best through movement together! If you would like to bring PC to your school or conference, please reach out to us. We would be happy to come move, play and learn with you! |

Workshop News: PC Welcomes International Educators
On June 21, 2012, PC hosted a workshop for a group of visiting educators and child advocates from the Institute of International Education.
Thank you very much for meeting with our Special Education Strategies group from the Near East and North Africa yesterday! This was a very important experience for the group, and I heard from their interpreter this morning that the visitors found the meeting to be extraordinary; they really enjoyed the experience with you! They were very impressed by the work that you do and had a great time learning about the training programs. We strive to increase international understanding by providing professional, cultural and educational meetings between emerging foreign leaders and members of the Bay Area community. By sharing your time with our visitors, you help us achieve this goal, as these interactions have far reaching effects in other countries. - Korin Hoffman, Program Coordinator ▪ International Visitor Leadership Division ▪ IIE WCC |
