Trip Details & Itinerary

Visiting Schools & Settings

We dedicate the first two days to observing Icelandic settings in action.
Play Iceland provides invaluable exposure to a range of learning environments that show many varied approaches to fostering child development. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Iceland's educational philosophy and environment, gaining invaluable insights into cultivating joyful, child-centred learning through play.

Following the visits everyone has the opportunity to discuss what they have seen.
By gathering as a group of early childhood educators, we unpack the experiences we had that day, challenge or confirm our assumptions, and learn in community. These reflection times are facilitated by our team of Play Iceland leaders. The cross- pollination of a range of viewpoints and experiences allows everyone to gain a deeper insight into impactful practice.
