SPECIAL FEATURES
Prepare for the Future
EMPATHY DEVELOPMENT
Empathy is a crucial aspect of human interaction and connection. Developing empathy skills can lead to better communication, deeper relationships, and a more compassionate society. Practicing empathy involves actively listening, being present in the moment, and truly trying to understand someone else's perspective. With time and effort, anyone can enhance their empathy skills and cultivate a more empathetic approach to life.
Apipedagogy includes the development of empathy more broadly - including bees and other elements of nature.
CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT
Creativity is a skill that can be developed and nurtured over time. By exposing children, students, and teachers to new ideas and experiences, practicing apipedagogy techniques, and embracing nature as a natural part of the creative process, you can unlock your full creative potential.
Educators and teachers develop creativity at APIS RETIS seminars, while children and students develop creativity throughout the project year with the support of api-pedagogues.
APITHERAPY
Apitherapy is a type of alternative practice that utilizes honeybee products, such as honey, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly, (and in the case of adults bee venom), for prevetion and therapeutic purposes. This practice has been used for centuries and has a range of health and development benefits.
The segment of expert apitherapy in kindergartens and schools is an innovation that is implicated through apipedagogy.
