Educational Congress "Moving Classroom"

How Your Brain Learns: Learning and Movement

In this space, we will review how the brain learns and how to leverage discoveries in neuroscience in education to plan our classes. Knowledge construction is multisensory, yet one of the senses we often overlook is proprioception; play, movement, and awareness of one's own body is the proposal for a more comprehensive and meaningful learning experience.

Connecting Play with Emotions and Learning

In this space, we will explore the fascinating world of gamification applied to education. We will discover how strategic use of play in the classroom can generate deep emotions and facilitate meaningful learning. From the potential of games to capture attention and motivate students to their ability to foster collaboration and problem-solving, we will analyze how gamification can transform the educational experience. We will explore concrete examples of how to integrate game elements into various subjects and educational levels, as well as practical strategies for effectively implementing gamification in the classroom. Join us on this exciting educational adventure, where we will learn how to turn the classroom into a dynamic, stimulating space full of deep learning through the power of play.

Education in Motion

Movement has been forgotten by traditional schooling. But now education is changing, transforming, in motion. In this presentation, movement will be addressed from a holistic perspective, discussing the power and importance of the body-mind, moving away from the more memoristic, linguistic, mathematical, and rational intelligence that has been imposed in educational systems. We will talk about active, conscious, bodily, holistic education, to understand and perceive our students from a new perspective.

Simultaneous Workshops:

Autism, Body, and Music: From Regulation to Learning in the Classroom

The body is a stage of constant battles in autism. Challenges in sensory, emotional, and cognitive processing occur in the autistic body and hinder participation in the classroom.

Understanding the challenges and processes of the autistic child's body and generating strategies for regulation through music is a good start to promote the ideal participation of the autistic child in class.

Design Thinking and Movement: Promoting Creativity in the Classroom.

Design Thinking is a set of mindsets and tools within a human, collaborative, and interactive process, focused on driving the solution of complex problems through empathy, challenging assumptions, and prototyping. This method effectively promotes creativity and experience-based learning. In this workshop, in addition to having fun, we will explore different Design Thinking tools for a classroom in motion.

Creativity in Motion

In this dynamic session designed to immerse attendees in an interactive and stimulating environment, where creativity becomes the main engine of learning.

This workshop proposes an innovative approach: a series of stands strategically distributed, each representing a unique creative challenge.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience a variety of creative exercises, each with a specific execution time. Upon completing each challenge, attendees will rotate through the different stands, ensuring that all have explored all facets of creativity.

The fundamental goal of this presentation is for participants to understand the importance of cultivating creativity as a fundamental skill in the educational process.

Live Dynamics: Activate, Connect, and Learn

This workshop is an invitation to move, explore, and connect. Leave the chairs behind and dive into outdoor activities that will make you feel the essence of learning in motion. Prepare for a unique experience where movement will transform your way of teaching and learning.

Self-Regulation Through Movement

We can understand self-regulation as a balancing exercise where we restore calm after an active state, and vice versa. A child who learns to self-regulate gains autonomy and, with it, the confidence to relate fearlessly, successfully integrating into the social order. The first element of learning self-control is the body. Through movement, children learn to exercise their will and direct their behavior purposefully.

In this workshop, we will understand the importance of movement in the development of autonomy in the classroom, and how the role of the caregiver, as an external control agent, must generate tranquility, trusting in the child's ability to self-regulate.
