The festive events celebrating the 46th anniversary of the Pedagogical Faculty continue. Today, on March 27, the traditional student conference summarizing the study of Fröbel pedagogy took place, with the participation of students majoring in 012 Preschool Education, other specialties, faculty members, stakeholders, and colleagues from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.

It is worth noting that Fröbel pedagogy is a hallmark of our faculty, developed through many years of collaboration with educational institutions in Germany, including the Fröbel Seminar and the "Antonivka" Charitable Foundation. Our faculty houses the only Friedrich Fröbel Educational Center in Ukraine, where master classes, conferences, and various events are regularly held. Students study Fröbel pedagogy during their 4th year. The relevance of this discipline lies in both the theoretical and practical understanding of the creative legacy of Friedrich Fröbel, the founder of the kindergarten as a public educational institution. His pedagogical ideas and methodological recommendations on the education and training of preschool children deserve thorough study and critical rethinking.

Today, 4th-year students delivered insightful and engaging reports on their study of Fröbel pedagogy. Stakeholders actively participated in the event, sharing how Fröbel's methods are applied in their preschool educational institutions (PEIs). They emphasized the importance of the professional training of future PEI educators in the context of Fröbel pedagogy. This is crucial and timely, as during various types of practical training, students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge, skills, and competencies in real-world settings
