primary school teacher
I attended the teacher training with Mosaic Foundation facilitated by Zhenya, and it was such a valuable experience. I had the opportunity to meet and share ideas with teachers from different schools across the country, which broadened my perspective on teaching practices. The sessions were practical, engaging, and thought-provoking, and I walked away with new strategies that I can apply directly in my classroom. I especially appreciated the interactive approach and the chance to learn from both the facilitator and fellow participants.

The Mosaic Teacher Training was an insightful and practical experience. I learned how to actively engage learners in the classroom by using strategies that encourage participation and interaction. The training also introduced me to the effective use of AI in the classroom, showing how it can be applied in creative and fun ways to support both teaching and learning. I found the sessions to be highly relevant, and I feel more equipped to make my lessons both engaging and innovative.
