1. NATURE & ENVIRONMENT AS OUR TEACHER
Every season gives a lot to experience: you can tast, smell, feel it by your hands, heart & head.
In our education we use all the different aspects of nature & environment to ‘know, learn and understand the world, the people around me and myself’.
By using nature & environment as tool to grow, we believe that children of the present grow up to partners of a sustainable world where everyone feels responsible for.
2. THE WORLD IS OUR CURRICULUM
In our educational activities we use ‘the whole world’, our own environment.
Forest, garden, park, yard, kitchen garden, ditch, river, flowers or a plant on your balcony?
We gonna use it!
We take a look, taste, smell and feel, we do research (what is it, what does it need, what can I do with it, what gives it to me & what can I give…) – we make a plan to move together with nature!
3. YOU’RE AN IMPORTANT PARTICIPANT OF THIS WHOLE PROCES!
4. HOW WE DO THAT? OUR BASICS:
Everyone is welcome!
We are all equal
We travel together
We don’t judge
We take care of each other
We take care of the world
We are curious and love to use our imagination
Are you pioneering with us?
5. EDUCATIONAL PROMISE
OUR EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES GROW IN AN OPEN FRAMEWORK WHERE ENVIRONMENT IS HET BASIS, AND WHERE CHILDREN AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALS TAKE HIGH INITIATIVE TO GROW ÁND MAKE THE OTHER GROW!
HANDS – active learning, learning by experiment
HEART – learning by experience and process feelings
HEAD – learning by knowledge, insight and reflection
6. Being busy with and in nature is not only fun, but did you know that it is also good for your physical and mental health? By setting up meaningful educational activities, daytime activities, or developing a learning attitude, children and young people are challenged across the board.
Naturally!
7. Positive health
8. How we do this?
We’re working together to make a program that fits results and goals, on a personal level.
We design the program for children and their supervisors – playing & learning, hand in hand.
We train the trainers – so the program anchores in everyone and we’re not needed anymore.
Like a spot in water green education finds his way – naturally!
