The forest school concept, which has other chapters around the world, encourages “child-led” learning in a natural environment, he said. The lesson for the day is dictated by what the children want to do, and learning is organic and done through play.
Mud, leaves and twigs are the teaching tools, while canopy-shaded areas serve as the classroom.
The children, aged three to 11, decide what they want to do and where to roam. The adults, coaches from the school, serve as watchful facilitators.
All of us who grew up loving nature, we grew up interacting with it. We didn’t grow up looking at it. If we keep blocking every child from interacting with their natural surroundings, they are not going to be interested in it anymore by the time they grow up.
