For whom?
The training World Game Practitioner (EAN 6152652589533) is meant for educational and health professionals who have experience in guiding, researching and/or diagnosing children and/or adults. This training entitles you to purchase the World Game (ISBN 9789492552303) and allows you to work with this instrument. Working with the World Game is bound to a license.

Unique training
Working with the World Game is enriching and proves time and again to be effective in non-speaking children, language problems or children with a fear of failure. Learning to understand the magic of this non-verbal instrument requires a lot of experience in observation and lifelong learning. Every child is unique and therefore every village build with the World Game is unique!

Within a few minutes you will gain (non-verbal) insight into the following aspects:
* the cognitive aspect (intelligence): how does the child explore their world around him?
* the affective aspect (social and/of emotional): how does the child experience their world?
* the pedagogical aspect (education/learning strategies); how does the child handle their world?
* giftedness: how does the child process knowledge and new information?

With the help of Johnnie Rasmussen and Grith Tschorn (both from the Gifted-Institute DK), and professor Evelyn Kroesbergen (Radboud University) an observation list for giftedness has been developed. This rubric can be used as a supplement to the non-verbal identification of cognitive abilities in situations regular IQ tests due to communication or cultural problems cannot be taken.
