Access-Criuleni Community-Service Project for Kindergarten Children on Self-Esteem

Access students from Criuleni launched a local community service initiative meant to promote the importance of self esteem and tolerance at the Pre-K level. 

Access Criuleni established a local partnership with Spicușor Kindergarten and so local children would participate in various activities coordinated by Access Criuleni students. 

They acted as volunteers and taught children the importance of self respect and self confidence.

In collaboration with ”Spicusor” Kindergarten from Criuleni we coordinated several activities for two groups of preschoolers. Access students organised an ice-breaking dance and three activities based on self-esteem development. The conclusion was that every child is important: the first activity was the ”quality cloud”. 

Every preschooler had to choose the qualities he/she possesses and explain his/her choice; the second activity - was entitled ”My Protective Shield”, which encouraged participants to answer four questions: What’s my name?; What can I do?; What do I want? and Why am I important? The last activity was called ”Qualities Tree of My Group”. Every child completed the blank tree graphic organizer with a leaf or a fruit, talking about their friends’ qualities. 

This one had the goal to make kids realize the importance of every person and be tolerant from an early age. Kindergarten children were very active and positive, and they enjoyed participating in all activities because they were asking with gleaming eyes when the teens will come again. That was the first community project organized by ACCESS team from Criuleni.
