The Foundation for Educational Services organised a Certificate Giving
Ceremony for playworkers who have successfully completed the Professional
Development sessions for prospective playworkers. Present for the ceremony were
the Minister of Education and Employment, Hon.
Evarist Bartolo, the Parliamentary Secretary for Youths, Sports and Voluntary Organisations,
Hon. Clifton Grima, and Permanent
Secretary at the Ministry for Education and Employment, Dr Frank Fabri.
The CEO of the Foundation, Mr Dermot Galea, referred to this course as
filling a gap in the workforce of the Foundation. The Foundation for
Educational Services employs hundreds of playworkers for its Klabb 3-16 and
Skolasajf services. The aim of the course is to enable prospective playworkers
to identify learning opportunities, develop them into meaningful activities,
and implement them in the most engaging ways possible.
The course covers a wide range of topics such as dealing with
challenging behaviour and disabilities, communication and teamwork, classroom
management, activity design, implementation and evaluation, diversity and
inclusion.
Applications for the next course
are open and information can be accessed from www.fes.gov.mt
