When young children were encouraged to explore their experiences of the pandemic through storytelling, they were able to express themselves and process their feelings while giving practitioners a deeper insight into their needs.
Our aims with The Froebel Young Voices of Covid project were to realise children’s right to express their narratives about Covid-19 while exploring the power of Froebelian storytelling strategies to support reflection on, and resilience about, their experiences.
The project was carried out in four nursery settings – two in Scotland and one each in England and New Zealand – where practitioners are trained in a Froebelian approach to storytelling and in action research methodologies. Practitioners were encouraged to document the different pedagogic strategies they used to support children’s storytelling about Covid-19.
