The first International Summit dedicated to Journaling in Education will take place online and will bring together on the same virtual stage international experts who use journaling techniques in their work with children and teens.
WHAT IS THE EVENT ABOUT?
The International Summit Journaling in Education is part of the international campaign “Journaling in Schools”, initiated by Alexandra Badita and Florina Russu in Romania, in 2020. After the workbook “My First Journal” reached hundreds of students all over the country and also abroad, we started to offer guided lessons in schools across Romania.
Through this conference, we wish to support all professionals in education who desire to implement journaling exercises with children and teenagers in the classroom or in other educational settings.
We are welcoming international guest speakers who have already applied different formats of journaling and who will share their experience and case studies in order to generate new ideas, recommendations and suggestions for the journal practice with kids.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JOURNALING IN EDUCATION?
1.Self awareness
Writing in a journal enhances reflection, so children can get a better sense of who they really are and what they like and dislike.
2. Emotional intelligence
Empathy, compassion, kindness are values that children learn when writing in their journal about such emotions. This way they will share the concepts with other kids as well.
3. Learning
Being able to filter all the new information by taking notes in their journals during lessons will help children develop better neuroplasticity. They can also write down their favourite quotes from movies and books to keep their brain engaged in the learning process.
4. Creativity and imagination
Imagination and creativity should be nurtured in every possible way. A journal is a great tool for practicing storytelling, writing about holidays and activities, as well as emotions and metaphors.
5. Setting goals
Children learn to set their own goals, while also taking responsibility and accountability for their actions to make it happen. Instead of relying on teachers’ and parents’ expectations, they learn to evaluate and learn along the way to meeting their objectives.
