My name is Sandra and as a mum of 3 children, my aim is to inspire children to learn, awaken their curiosity and encourage them to question and explore things for themselves.
In my academic career, I have learnt how much more constructive it is to look at issues from different perspectives and to combine knowledge from individual disciplines in order to gain new insights. I also pursue this interdisciplinary approach in my working group ‘Art World Journey’.
Using an art project, the children learn about a different country in each lesson and are allowed to be creative. We listen to music from the respective country to get them in the mood and inspire them.
As I believe that you don't have to be good at painting to make art, I introduce the children to lots of creative techniques for conjuring up a work of art on paper. At the end, the children are allowed to proudly present these works of art in an exhibition.
I also run the ‘GummiTwist’ working group. I still remember how much I loved playing gummitwist as a child. It's such a simple game that's great fun and can be played at different levels of difficulty. All you need is a rubber band and possibly 2 other players. I think it's a shame that this game has been lost nowadays. That's why I would like to pass this knowledge on to the children of the DSND.
