Nature-Based Learning Approaches focuses on integrating outdoor experiences and natural environments into educational practices. This course equips participants with the skills to develop and implement effective nature-based learning strategies that foster holistic development in children. Through hands-on projects and interactive sessions, learners will explore the benefits of connecting students with nature, enhancing their cognitive, emotional, and social growth.
Participants will engage in a variety of activities designed to deepen their understanding of nature-based learning methodologies. The course culminates in a final project where learners will design a comprehensive nature-based learning plan tailored to a specific educational context. By encouraging the publication of results in Cademix Magazine, this program not only enhances professional portfolios but also contributes to the broader discourse on effective educational practices.
