Šumska škola

E - library

Here you can find interesting and instructive experiences of other people, schools and other education-oriented organisations, including a variety of approaches

to learning. Their experiences have served us as teachers, inspiration and guides

in creating the pedagogical approach of Šumska Škola.

The goal of the E-library is to collect all relevant sources over time, on different pedagogical approaches that are based on the child's freedom and responsibility for their own learning process, thus serving as a knowledge base in this and similar fields.
