Our Approach
In today’s changing world, learners often view nature as unfamiliar and distant from their lives. Informed by research and our experiences of engaging with teachers, educators, and children from different contexts and geographies, we have developed a Nature Learning Framework and Pedagogy. This approach aims to provide opportunities for learners to develop a deeper sense of wonder, love, and a lasting connection with nature, the natural world.
This dynamic and collaborative approach deeply informs our nature learning and resource creation process. It is based on observations and reflections from classrooms, conversations with teachers, understanding the needs of teachers and students, and correlating them with the school curriculum.
