Importance of Nature Education

By making meaning of serendipitous encounters with myriad creatures that visit their schools the project hopes to facilitate deeper connections for students with their immediate natural world. Jane Sahi, Founder, Fig Tree learning center and Roshni Ravi, Nature Conservation Foundation are going to design and create locally relevant and accessible teaching-learning material, curate stories, songs and sayings in consultation with parents, teachers and students. They will develop and offer immersive nature education and nature learning workshops for students and teachers. Material emerging from this will be made available freely under the creative commons understanding. Children’s nature education goes a long way in the fight against climate change. For the citizens of tomorrow, they need to learn to love nature so that they know what they’re fighting for. 

 

Please reach out to Jane or Roshni if you are interested in this and if you would like to use any of the ideas and material in a school you know.
