This is what we can bring to the Chinese kindergartens
“Many Chinese kindergartens are experimenting with new ways to run their kindergartens—often following the Scandinavian model. Even so, there are still areas where we are able to inspire,” says Benedicte Riis, who has been traveling for 3 months in China visiting kindergartens and performing with songs, music, and her magical Hans Christian Andersen suitcase.
“Many Chinese kindergartens lack ideas and a creative approach, play, fancy, and imagination in narrow as well as in high-level contexts. The ability to create a fruitful space, where both a ‘we’, a ‘you’ and an ‘I’ can grow like healthy plants and flowers – straight out of the European romantic kindergarten philosophy – is still something we can help each other with,” Benedicte thinks.
“Hans Christian Andersen’s characters and life stories are wonderful and magical in a very down-to-Earth and materially fixed environment, which apparently has enough of everything except coherence and energy to fire off the fantasy rocket.”
New book to be published in April
On 27 April, Benedicte Riis is publishing her book The TRICK of Hans Christian Andersen in Danish, English, and Chinese. In this book, she describes her own travel and points out 12 steps in a sketched-out version of a Hans Christian Andersen future pedagogy.
