What role does humor play in a child’s early years?
Can humor be a tool for teaching?
What is the possibilities of humor in education?
We’re inviting an expert to come talk about how humor is more than just something funny to experience in your spare time, but also something that can be a tool to be used.
In this talk we will be looking at how humor can be a tool in education for children. There is a consensus that humor is something positive, but do you have to be funny? What can humor in education look like and how can we start implementing it?
