The training of employees of KFU (Assistant Professors: I.E. Krapotkina, L.N. Latipova) and SMA "Izh-Logos" (O.A. Lapteva) passed in Germany within the framework of international scientific cooperation and practice-oriented cooperation of teachers of Kazan Federal University (branch in Elabuga), Udmurt State University (including SMA "Izh-Logos", Izhevsk), kindergarten № 3 "Tower" (t.

Thus, within the framework of the master class, preschool educators of the day-care centers "Green beak" ("Gruene Schnabel") (Marlow, Germany) presented textile and educational books for the development of subject-developing environment. By their nature, they constitute a book consisting of individual theme sheets, which can be completed and alternated in any sequence. They can be used in individually differentiated and group forms of work with children. For the tutor it is a didactic-developing material, for a child - a subject-toy, and for parents - a new informative and creative resource. In order to determine the effectiveness and the possibility of using these textile books in the regular pre-school education, they conducted an experiment with the participation of pupils of mixed age group (5-6 years) in the amount of 8 persons (6 girls, 2 boys).
In addition to textile books, children of 4-5 years have been proposed "developing peas" (tactility, account, colour perception, the perception of size, logical thinking).
Practical workshops for making cards were held with children of 5-6 years and teachers of mixed groups (children: fine motor skills, work with different type materials and techniques, including their mix and matching, attention concentration and perseverance, the perception of colors and shapes, the ratio of colors and shapes, the work with a variety of supporting tools; drawing and writing); gift envelopes for chocolate and m o n k e y s – symbols of 2016 (teachers: focus on individual abilities, skills and needs of children of different ages, accounting competencies of the given age, taking into consideration the groups of children with health disabilities, children of different sexes, etc.).
Workshops were held during the working hours, and were aimed at the prevention of professional burnout of the teaching staff, team building among teachers, by changing activities and advanced training of their own skills within the Applied Pedagogy.
The level of staff training of EI KFU has been highly praised by the leaderships of Preschool Educational Organization, teachers and parents of pupils who participated in the experiment. It was encouraged to continue such cooperation in 2016 with the potential of international exchanges of teaching staff of preschool educational organizations.

The new school year started in the "Children's University"!
September 13. Grand opening of the new season in the "Children's University" in Elabuga Institute of KFU
Elabuga Institute KFU again opened its doors for young students and their parents - the grand opening of the new season of the project "Children's University” was in the Assembly hall. The event began with a greeting the guests and participants of the project by the Director of Elabuga Institute KFU Merzon Elena: "This project has been implemented only in two cities of Tatarstan Republic - Kazan and Elabuga, and we are happy that we are able to offer children a wonderful project for free. Parents also have the opportunity to acquire new knowledge in the lectures of our professors and associate professors. Dear friends, I welcome you all to the fifth consecutive year as the students of the Children's University. I wish you all the best, be organized and interesting. Show your best qualities in the Children's University”. Elena Efimovna also discussed with the children the today's event in the Republic of Tatarstan - Presidential elections: "Today is the day of presidential elections and it is very responsible. If your parents have not been to the polling stations yet, after the lectures at the Children’s University immediately ask your parents to show you where the voting takes place. "
After the welcoming speech of Elena Efimovna the children had the first lesson titled "The ABCs of elections," which was conducted by PhD, assistant professors of Elabuga Institute KFU Muhametgalieva Safia Hamitovna and Kuzmenko Valentina Igorevna. They told the children how the elections of the president take place, when and what kind of a person can take part in them, they had interesting quizzes connected with the political sphere. For example, all the guys responded unanimously to the question of who is now the president of the Russian Federation - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
The last part of the opening was the most exciting and fascinating for the children: "Scientific show of a mad professor Nicolas", which conducted Professor Lily and Professor Ilnur. It was interesting for both children and their parents. The hall was overcrowded, and every child was happy to participate in the proposed experiments. The guides of the show explained accessibly the laws of physics and chemistry, and showed them in practice, involving the participation of all children interested in the experiences. Young students were able to touch and hold in their hands the foam filled with carbon dioxide, to try "crazy soda", feel the frosty breath of dry ice. Also, some children have been able to create for themselves with the help of the guides a leading polymer worm, give it a name and take it home. The show ended by the “super-smoke” causing huge children’s delight: dry ice was covered in water and having evaporated, it has allocated a lot of carbon dioxide, puffed thus much of the surrounding area.
Many children came to the Children's University not for the first time, but most of them were newcomers here. The resident of our town Pashayeva Gulnur with her daughter Snezhana also attended a similar event for the first time: "There was a representative of Elabuga Institute KFU at school meeting who told us about the project and invited to participate. I think the Children's University can give my child a push for further development, the development of logical thinking and a desire to explore new materials for learning. According to Snezhana Pashayeva, she liked the Children's University very much, and she is sure to come here again.
The next session will take place on October, 18th, at 10:00. Children will be able to learn where does electricity comes from, to work in the cartoon studio "Plastiсine Production". An essay contest "My favorite teacher" is announced for children, following which the winners will receive diplomas and all the other participants - certificates. Practical training will be organized for parents "Art therapy in the work with children."
