Workshops on Improving Social Skills in PYP

During the first semester, Grade 4 students had the opportunity to enhance their social skills by participating in workshops. In these workshops, they were reminded of what social skills are, why they are important, and how they can be improved.

They explored their similarities and differences and discussed the importance of meeting basic emotional needs, how conflicts arise, and ways to resolve them. Additionally, we focused on the significance of active listening and how we can build relationships with others through listening and understanding, regardless of whether we are similar to or agree with that person. We concluded our gatherings with a topic on sharing information and collaborating in teams.

The „formula of success“ that students discovered during these workshops is that mutual listening, complementing each other, respect, and agreement are key to good social relationships and effective collaboration.

Everything the students learned in these workshops will be applied in their next summative task.
