Folklore Games Against Terrorist Threats: MSUPE Prepares Project Work Across Moscow Region Sites
At the Faculty of Legal Psychology of Moscow State University of Psychology and Education (MSUPE), work continues on the scientific and methodological support for the testing and implementation of the Program and Methodological Recommendations "Folklore Games in Kindergarten" in preschool institutions. The program and recommendations are designed to prepare children to act in situations of terrorist threat.
The first stage of the work – familiarising staff of Russian preschool educational organisations with the program's content – was conducted in the form of scientific and methodological webinars and the exchange of gaming experience through the project's working chats. The second stage involves the organisation of regional centres for the dissemination of specialised gaming practices.
To assist regional participants newly joining the open project, the developers are publishing an article introducing the content and methods of working in the project. It presents the methodological foundations of the work, answers to the most frequently asked questions from new participants, and comments on the video materials from the first webinar in the project.
