The students and teachers of the 5th grade collaborated with enthusiasm and imagination to build their own vision for “The ideal school of tomorrow”. All their thoughts and ideas were captured in their unique and very special models.

The LEGO Serious Play method is a creative tool that helps teachers build “bridges of communication” with children, giving them a voice so that every idea can be heard. Everyone worked as a team, respecting different views on what a better school could be.

✨ The main suggestions of the children:
• Improvement of facilities – swimming pool, sports fields
• Learning closer to nature
• Reduced class hours

📣 Among the most characteristic statements of the children:
🧩 “I liked that we built with LEGO and that my classmates had so many ideas!”
🧩 “That we all built our own thinking and shared it with our classmates.”

🙏 A big thank you for our wonderful collaboration – we played, created, imagined, shared and had fun all together!
We renew our appointment for new creative collaborations!

🎉 On Thursday 19 June 2025 a unique interactive workshop with the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method was held for all the educational staff of the 1st & 2nd Kindergarten of Pikermio!

👩‍🏫The activity was implemented by a team of professionals from Amimoni, trained and certified in the LEGO® Serious Play® method, in the framework of the initiative “Early in the Community II”, funded by the Ioannis S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, aiming at empowering teachers through experiential learning and creative dialogue.

🧱 The LEGO® Serious Play® method is an excellent tool that helps teachers build bridges of communication with children, parents and colleagues, providing creative and inclusive solutions to the challenges of the early school years.

💬 The educators shared thoughts and feelings, created, collaborated, and bonded as a team:
“Taking part in this workshop was one of the most creative and meaningful professional development experiences I’ve ever had! The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method gave me the opportunity to view collaboration and school team dynamics through a completely different lens – creative, experiential, and deeply engaging. It opened up new pathways of thinking and offered me tools and ideas I can immediately apply in my teaching practice! But above all, I want to highlight the facilitators, whose kindness, warmth, and professionalism gave the entire experience a truly special quality!”

“Participating in the workshop was one of the most creative and meaningful training experiences I’ve ever had!”

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to this dynamic and tightly-knit group of educators for their participation and positive energy!
