Project Description

Thinking Learning Go Style

The project provides a series of Go lessons in elementary and/or high school.

First lessons will introduce and show the rules of Go to students.

In a second period a Go teacher will offer exercises about understanding the way to play the game (as life and death, connecting, ko, etc.). Students will be engaged to reason about how opponent player can think. Great significance will be given to a correct and rational reasoning. During the training the psychological Theory of Mind will be introduced.

Students will play Go in dedicated hours.

The project will also include a Go Open Day (or Days) at schools, during which students will teach/introduce the rules of Go to visitors.
