INTEGRATED PROJECTS · EARLY CHILDHOOD
Teach through projects with structure and purpose
Integrated projects that support children’s whole-child development, with nature as the common thread.
Created in collaboration with the Chair in Neuroeducation at the University of Barcelona.
PBL is an active methodology that encourages inquiry, experimentation, and reflection through challenges and projects. With Inspira, your students take the lead in their own learning.
Neuroscience confirms that children who learn in contact with the natural world experience less stress and are more reflective. The program includes natural hands-on materials, outdoor activities, and a school garden. We bring nature into the classroom!
Develop emotional awareness, personal choice, and individual and social responsibility. With Inspira, children learn to identify their emotions, regulate their responses, and communicate and act in line with them.
You’ll practice mindfulness and yoga, disciplines that help children learn while supporting healthy cognitive, intellectual, and emotional development.
Boost emotional development, creativity, and nonverbal communication, while also building self-esteem and divergent thinking, both essential for whole-child learning.
Inspira’s integrated projects unfold in a magical world. Its fun characters accompany your students on this exciting learning adventure.
Inspira builds the SDGs into its integrated projects, making it easy for you to teach values such as caring for the environment, cooperation, and respect for living things while young children learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (PBL)
How is project-based learning usually done?
PBL covers every area of learning, but often without a common thread or a clear sequence of activities.
How will you do project-based learning with Inspira?
With Inspira, you’ll work through sequenced, contextualized projects with activities focused on a single theme.
