Following the successful implementation of the 2022 and 2024 programs, teachers will once again have the opportunity to participate free of charge in training courses based on the Judit Polgár Method in 2025.
The following three 30-hour, accredited courses will be available:
- Talent Development through Chess – for teachers of grades 1–2
- Skill Development through Chess – for teachers of grades 3–4
- Chess&PE (SakkTesi) – a movement development program for teachers of grades 1–4
The Judit Polgár Method focuses on the complex skills development of children aged 4 to 10, with particular emphasis on reinforcing key 21st-century competencies: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. The trainings use the framework of chess to create an engaging and motivating learning environment.
All courses are registered with the Hungarian Educational Authority, and thus count toward the fulfillment of teachers’ professional development requirements. Trainings will be held in Budapest and other locations in Hungary, depending on regional demand.
🟨 Please note: All training courses are conducted in Hungarian.
