Nature Connection Series: Identity

“They can just be themselves” Teacher

We are not meant to be exactly alike, we each have our own gifts and talents to share with the world. Unfortunately for some children, the classroom is not the place they can express their gifts. They have bodies that need to move and curious brains that want to find and explore. In the outdoor setting, children can use so much more than a pen and paper to express ideas and feelings. They can talk and act and do. Not only does this mean the child is able to express themselves clearer but it allows those around them to see them as their true selves.

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.
