Participants who have successfully completed the Level 1 course may continue with the Level 2 course. In this Level 2 course, participants are provided with a practical working structure designed to help them guide children toward full awareness of their own behaviour.
The course integrates the Gestalt Intervention Framework, emphasizing experiential learning and self-awareness as tools for supporting children’s emotional and behavioural growth.
Participants will learn how to apply Gestalt principles in real-world settings to foster responsibility, presence, and self-understanding in the child.
When you register and pay for both courses – Part 1 and Part 2 – you will receive a complimentary copy of the book, A Gestalt Intervention Framework for Play Practitioners (GIFPP by Dr. Hannie Schoeman, 500 pages, price R595.00 including Pudo delivery). This book is referred to and advised reading for Level 1 and required reading for Level 2.
