Movement games invite you to experiment in order to grasp materials and objects of the environment, to grasp physical properties and to act actively on the environment. You will train your observation and description skills and learn how to create suitable observation situations for different questions.
On the basis of your own experience, theoretical basics and relationships are presented, which offer explanatory models for the experience and show you practical suggestions for the possible uses of psychomotor development promotion in your own professional practice.

Module 3: Embodiment and dialogue in Psychomotricity
The essence of being human is interacting and building relationships. These processes are fundamentally embodied and they take place as psychomotor dialogues.

Psychomotor dialogues as well as psychomotor play and movement offers awaken the joy of movement, the joy of relating successfully to each other and thus support healthy development from childhood to senior age. A healthy constitution, diverse skills and a positive self-concept are also considered protective factors (resilience factors) to successfully cope with adverse and stressful life situations and conflicts.
