I am Popi Basdeki from Greece.
I have been a preschool teacher for 30 years. I am a graduate of Athens University department of education and care in early childhood.
I have also completed one-year postgraduate program in Child Psychology and Psychiatry, at Aegean University, and my research project was “Outdoor learning. Benefits of the child from his contact with nature.”
For the past 7 years I am the head teacher of a kindergarten (6 months to 4 years old) of the municipality of Athens. My pedagogical team and I work with open classes and mixed ages. Most activities take place in the yard, as the weather in Greece encourage it. We do not have much experience in e-skills, but the last years we try to integrate technology into our educational activities.
