EKOA - IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD

The forest school methodology matches the concept, born in the 1950s in Scandinavia, of taking children to the countryside, to the forest. Learning in the open air in permanent contact with nature, without forgetting the individuality of each being and the importance of playing. Forest School is set in a natural environment so that children can take risks, develop positive attitudes and become confident, independent and active adults. Social, emotional and physical components are valued every day. A new movement of free education and alternative to traditional teaching wants to reconnect children to nature through emotional and fun experiences, through play. Volunteer will requalify the community spaces for the children that lives there.

We want to rehabilitate some spaces in nature, with tasks such as: thinning out invasive plants, planting aromatic plants to control pests, building a natural pond to play in the water and welcome a greater diversity, making a tree climbing circuit out of natural materials (ropes, wood, cork) for children to explore, putting up safety signs and identifying flora species in a forest space, building a playground out of natural materials and in a forest context
