Hi Viviana!  :wave:

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the lovely introduction!  :D

Size of a collection is not important here - it's how you feel about Playmo that matters! ;)

@ playmoholics: i'm doing a masters in philosophy right now and i hope to graduate next academic year. after that, i would like to do a course on leading 'philosophical' conversations with children. so that's not about the transference of knowledge, but about stimulating children to analyse their own thoughts and make them comfotable exchange their ideas with others... this is what i really would like to do, and i already work with children when i'm not studying.

@ Sylvia: of course it's not about the size of my collection :) but it would be nice to be able to expand it so i can build a playmotown...

@ Jimbo, Gis, Hadoque, playmo1989, bonniebeth, flatcat, skywalker, warrioroftoys, Bill Blackhurst, el jefe, tonguello and Wolf Knight: i'm pretty sure that i'll have great time here. ( and that it provides lot's of hours of distraction from my studies  :lol: ) Thank you all for the welcome words you wrote

A warm welcome from the UK, Viviana!    :wave:  Don't worry, you can be a serious collector with only two Playmobil items, maybe even one!  And the Playmobil will be a nice relaxation from your studies when you've made all your notes and written all your essays.

Thanks Playmoholic. it really wonders me how education is so much more focused on the transference of knowledge than on thinking itself and learning to cope with emotions and such. when i was young, i was one of those annoying kids who always had questions and i was always so curious about so many things. somehow i didn't feel very encouraged iy eagerness to know more and more... and actually playmobil was very important for me then ;)

and today i bought the summer house, which i'm really excited about! i'll post pictures later
