Vittra skills

All children and students should experience the joy of learning a lot in preschool and school. But it is not enough to just learn new things – personal development is at least as important. That’s why we work with something we call the Vittra skills, with a focus on strengthening both the children’s personal development, as well as giving them strategies for learning. This is an important part for the children to become aware of themselves and their surroundings.

The Vittra skills are an important part of individual development. We work with this differently depending on the age and the conditions of each child. The Vittra skills are also given areas to work on and practice together during our Vittra gatherings.
