Jana Štěpančíková
Junior Project Manager Transformations of Gardens
Within the Garden Transformations programme, Jana is responsible for the education segment. She coordinates the activities of the foundation's educational centres and kindergartens, that have undergone garden transformations and they are pioneers in the field of outdoor preschool pedagogy. In collaboration with other experts, she prepares events and materials on the topic for teachers, administrators, parents, and the public. Additionally, she provides assistance to educational teams by facilitating participatory activities that are designed to engage both children and parents.
„Participating in the renewal of kindergarten gardens across the country and supporting local teachers, children, parents, and entire communities in making the space their own is a fascinating, dynamic, and significant undertaking. I enjoy working with people who have the drive and courage to effect change. As a teacher myself, I feel at ease among my colleagues, children, and parents. The presence of a garden in the kindergarten setting can significantly help everyone, from children, to educators, to parents, etc. I love discovering and sharing this simple magic. The garden is a classroom too!“
