Teacher's Workshop for Young Forest Flaneurs

A new workshop for teachers to learn how to adapt the Forest Flaneur to the outdoor classroom. How does Nature call out to kids? Every child is unique and has its own inner compass in an ecosystem. If we allow them to follow their instincts as a Forest Flaneur, a mosaic arises from the group of children on a random walk. Learn more how to optimise Nature’s gift to humanity-a call to touch and bonding with tactile perception and its impact on language. Research shows intuition is part of the female brain and opens child development broader than a categorising male brain mode. Creativity is a natural phenomena as children explore with eyes and ears wide open in the natural world. Where does the line end between human and Nature? Empathy on a heart to heart level is enhanced by the Forest Flaneur. The sensitive tiny finger pads are a major part of children’s language acquisition prior to cognitive acuity. Tactile perception inherent in the Forest Flaneur methodology is key to unlock a world of sensations that become imbedded in a child’s memory bank and linked to a visceral experience. These cues are later accessible for a connection between word and object. Seeing is not the sole activator for believing. Touch is the inner essence of believing. “ I was there—- I saw it, I felt it. It’s REAL.”
