Description

Forest Kindergarten, Nature Pedagogy & Learning Through Play

Immerse yourself in the transformative world of early childhood education with my course on Forest Kindergartens, Nature Pedagogy, and Learning Through Play.

This comprehensive course covers four key areas:


  1. History of Danish Forest Kindergartens: Delve into the origins and evolution of the Danish forest kindergarten model, exploring its principles and success stories that have inspired outdoor education globally.

  2. Nature Pedagogy: Gain insights into nature pedagogy, a teaching philosophy that emphasises the importance of nature in children's learning and development. Learn how to incorporate natural elements into educational practices effectively.

  3. Learning Through Play: Discover the power of play as a fundamental aspect of early childhood education. Understand how unstructured, outdoor play fosters physical, cognitive, and social development.

  4. Practicalities for Outdoor Learning: Equip yourself with practical strategies and tips for implementing outdoor learning and play. This section is designed for educators or even parents eager to take learning through play into the great outdoors.

By linking these subjects to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4.7, this course emphasises the role of education in promoting sustainable development, global citizenship, and a deep respect for cultural diversity and the environment. Join Jen Fagan Simonsen to cultivate a nature-focused learning environment that prepares children for a sustainable and interconnected world.
