Darren
Founder, Forest School Singapore
Is the Scandanevian educational ways the best for children? Are there tropical or Asian ways that aligns with development of the human? Is Play the foundation element to growth and development across all cultures and geography?
Join me to playfully co-learn and co-explore these question, if you get tickled intellectually by them too.
In this deep dive, I will share briefly about what is Forest School and how Play is at the core practice.
Then I will go deeper into the work and context of Forest School around the world, that I've gathered from my exchanges via learning from various practitioners around the world.
Countries that will be shared : England, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, Lebanon, and Qatar.
At the end, we will do a little floorbooking 'spellcasting' play to share, discuss and reflect about the deep dive.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Deeper understanding about CONTEXT of Forest School and the Play in the modern human species.
Applying Forest School Approach and Playfulness in your own practice and work.
Widening of perspective to possibilities within you and your community.
