Reflections from mentees
"This mentorship has made me discover myself more: the way I am, the way I think, the way I teach, the way I think about teaching and about artistic education..." Aixa Toledano Benítez
"The program believes in people who will truly understand, implement, convey the Orff-Schulwerk approach, develop ideas on the internatioanl platform and contribute to the process of learning from each other in the professional field." Ilkay Nisanci
"To be able to learn to use every obstacle as a potential tool." Sonia Kouma
"I have learned a lot especially about aesthetics and quality choices in it and in the pedagogical process. The pedagogical process could really be like a small work of art...." Riikka Rauhala
"This hasn´t been a programme where mentors sprinkle the little crumbles of knowledge on top of the mentees. I've felt that there is mutual and in some ways equal interest between mentors and mentees towards sharing our thoughts about the teaching process." Elina Simes
