2 years – 3 therapyst – 70 lab events – 160 meeting with children
"Azt hiszem végül minden utazásunk tapasztalatainak, élményeinek gyakorlótere, bizonyos szempontból középpontja az általunk lab-nak elnevezett csoport lett. A lab a Budapesti Korai Fejlesztő Központban működő, súlyosan, halmozottan sérült gyermekek óvodájában jöhetett létre és bár a projekt két éve most lezárul, de csapatunk folytatja tevékenységét [...]"

"As I look at our group now under the name Lab I see it became the practice scene or center from a point of view of all experience we went through in each journey.

Applying principles
of BMC® Infant Developmental Movement Education is a new area in the ArtMan
activities. Inspired by SPARKS and supported by Budapest Early Intervention Centre Ildikó Bóta, Sándor Szűcs and Ferenc Kálmán have worked together with clients of the
department for children with severe multiple disabilities on a weekly base
during the two years of the project. They have studied and explored
BMC® approach with a focus to integrating the new specific BMC® information with
their previous experiences and educational background. During the two years of
SPARKS we had about 70 lab events engaging children in cca 160 sessions. The Lab
has been completed with a subproject of Bernadett
to document the sessions for further processing and use in future
educational programs. We’ve opened this lab for professional visitors as well
as parents and also the staff of the department to share the out-coming new
ideas, models and good practices. As an appreciation of SPARKS more somatic events will start and BMC® will be included in the official pedagogy
program of Budapest Early Intervention Center from 2015 fall: Sándor and Ferenc will start a parent
and child group with movement development focus from September and Ildikó will
join the staff of department for infants with severe multiple disabilities.
She’s got a commission to develop new therapeutic forms and educate other team
members while the SPARKS Lab will be also continued in a double time frame than
before.
Sándor: ”…it’s been
indeed a good set up that all of us arrived from different however partially
similar areas of care. Our backgrounds are different and we look at the same
process with different eyes, and approach. We address many questions to each
other and we search for answer together.”
”Body-Mind
Centering for me is a space free for asking my questions with a hope also to
get answers sooner or later.”
”Body-Mind
Centering is an approach intends to protect the person, not only the child but
the adults connected and taking care as well. This work deals with issues to
deepen relationships to open the interest. It requires patience and humility, much attention and focusing but
offers answers and a lot of joy as a return.”
