Narrative environments for play and learning (NEPL) guidelines for kindergarten and school teachers working with 3-8 years-old-children

Abstract

These Guidelines presents the educational method of narrative play pedagogy. Primarily, the theoretical and practical origins, as well as the concept of narrative play are discussed. Afterwards, the reader will find concrete steps of this method for working with children (age 3 to 8) in pre-school or school environments. The publication is based on the work carried out for the project “Narrative Environments for Play and Learning” (No. 2015-1-LT01-KA201-013443) under Erasmus+ programme (KA2 - Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices, Strategic Partnerships for school education) funded by the European Commission. The project was held in four countries (Lithuania, Finland, England, Poland) from 2015 until 2017.
