თეორიიდან პრაქტიკამდე: ქართველი პრაქტიკოსები იწყებენ შემდეგი ნაბიჯების გადადგმას: ბლოგი – პროექტი საქართველო 2024
Georgia
სექტემბრიდან მოყოლებული, ქართველი პრაქტიკოსები იღებენ მონაწილეობას დისტანციური სწავლების პროგრამაში, რათა გამოიყენონ მუსიკა შეზღუდული შესაძლებლობის მქონე ბავშვებთან. თბილისში ორდღიანი ინტენსიური სასწავლო ტრენინგის დასრულების შემდეგ, ისინი აგრძელებენ თეორიული ნაწილის სწავლას ონლაინ გაკვეთილებით, სადაც იღრმავებენ ცოდნას ამ მიმართულებით. ეს ბლოგი შესანიშნავად გვაწვდის ინფორმაციას ჩვენი ტრენერების, თაკო ჟორდანიასა და ჯენი ლაასის შეტანილი წვლილისა და ამა წლის პროექტის მიმდინარეობის შესახებ.
