A number of 26 educational robots will be distributed to 16 education units in Bucharest, as part of a project designed to combat bullying, Agerpres reports.
"These non-formal activities make it easier for children to understand the emotions, actions and attitudes involved in bullying incidents and help reduce the incidence of this phenomenon. At the same time, teachers will have both an innovative tool at their disposal and a new method for the educational process to be as attractive as possible and more adjusted to today's children," it is shown in a press release sent, on Wednesday, by the Sinaptica Association.
According to the same source, the interested teachers will benefit from free training offered by the Association, in order to acquire the necessary skills to include educational robots in the teaching process, as well as to update their psycho-pedagogical knowledge that facilitates the understanding of children's bullying.
The action will be marked by an event that will take place on March 21, at 11.00 am, at the "Virgil Madgearu" Economic College. The event is organized within the Erasmus + Robotics Versus Bullying project, implemented in Romania by the Sinaptica Association, as a national partner, and the School Inspectorate of the Municipality of Bucharest, as an associated partner.
