In this context, the pre-school teachers in the container area were contacted and the sessions were held every Wednesday-Thursday (8 sessions in total) for 5 weeks, taking into account their availability hours. Children were included in the programme in groups of 12. Before data collection, the necessary materials were provided and stored in an empty container. It was found appropriate to complete the trainings in kindergartens located in the container city (4). A total of 3 evaluations were carried out: a post-test immediately after the end of the programme and a retention test at the end of the first month.
