OUT to IN: an Outdoor Body-oriented Intervention Program

OUT to IN comprises 20 body-oriented biweekly 40-minute sessions facilitated by a psychomotor therapist in a pedagogical partnership with the preschool teacher. Sessions are implemented outdoors. All sessions are framed in a context of freedom and self and mutual bodily resonance, according to the following structure: First, children are invited to engage in exercise play activities. Second, children engage in ludic relaxation proposals. Finally, children are asked to reflect on their bodily experiences and express themselves through different expressive mediators. Preschool teachers also participate in a 25-hour training focused on the underlying principles of OUT to In and participate in 20 body-oriented biweekly 20-minute relaxation sessions, facilitated by a psychomotor therapist.
