This year has had an unusual start for all of us - as we stay put for quarantine, we are working on detailing our work for this school year with two new schools! Last year we focused mostly on practical environmental learning journeys with practical activities such as trails and treasure hunts, a regenerative culinary workshop and mindfulness excercises. This year we are adding a new component to our curriculum: art therapy!
Our pedagoge and resident art coordinator have been taking lessons on art therapy and artistic expression to formulate a workshop for the children to connect with nature and express the feeling through painting, mosaic and modelling. We will focus on using natural and recycled elements to show children how their creative outlet can beautify spaces and care for their environment.
Previously, we had worked with children of the community decorating public spaces such as plazas, school murals and other infrastructure - this has proven to be a children's favorite so it was naturally time to incorporate it to our in-campus learning journeys!
We will keep you posted as things go back to normal and we can begin our work. In the mean time, stay safe and as always, we extend you a sincere thank you for your support!
Warm wishes,
