“[they] take a moment to stop and look around us” Teacher
Many of our Nature Connection series programs are held in bush/natural spaces very close to the student’s school. For many they have passed through it each day without seeing what and who lives there. During the program, students start to see the complex systems that are at play, and they start to recognise the patterns and changes that occur over time. Many teachers tell us that the students start spending more time in the space outside the program and bring their families there to share their experiences. If we all saw and looked out for our local natural spaces imagine the impact, we could have.
This video captures the essence of our Nature Connection Series, an 8-week, immersive program delivered by Educated by Nature with the aim of supporting teachers to see the potential of local bushland and nearby outdoor spaces, engaging students Deep Nature Connection. This project was made possible through a partnership between Educated by Nature and WA Parks Foundation, supported by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group.
