Organized for: Mixed group (Class 01 to Class 05) of children.
Today, few people know about their home environment, their human and non-human neighbours, weather, plants, animals, and soils. Schools use textbooks to teach about environment, most of the time of a place distant from one’s own home and ecology. In order to care for the natural world and build deep relations with it, we believe understanding one’s own home environment is critical. This workshop was oriented to learn to observe and experience the home ecology on foot, moving between home, classroom and the landscape around. This was designed for young children to observe the more-than-human co-inhabitants, and our interdependencies.
