Educational workshop at the heart of nature!
This is a summer family “treasure hunt” in nature, where parents and children have the chance to explore, discover, collaborate, have fun and learn, through play, about the world that surrounds us and the creatures that live in it! How can a family walk in nature transform into a unique adventure of play, exploration and discovery of the miracles around us? By undertaking special missions, solving riddles and looking for clues, from station to station along the way, all the members of the family will have to collaborate and activate their body and senses in order to discover:
– What’s happening in the woods during this time of the year?
– Which magical stories are the trees in the woods hiding within them?
– Which flowers have woken up in the woods in summertime and which other creatures visit the woods for these?
– What are the traces of inhabitants of the woods that we can locate?
The end goal of each family is to come up with its own, original “forest map” with all the things it had managed to discover!
The Parea tou Dasous is an original child-oriented educational approach, which makes the most of the oldest workshop in the world – nature – as a framework of learning and development. It organizes outdoors activities for children of all ages, parents and children’s instructors. It combines modern educational approaches that make the most of the natural environment as the basic learning tool. Through the connection with nature, it aims at contributing to the physical, sentimental, mental and social health of a developing person. Its vision is to give more access to children and grown-ups to nature and boost their environmental consciousness.
During the Meetings of the group, children and grown-ups, driven by the stimuli offered by each season, get the chance to get connected with nature and understand how they form part of it through play, movement, contact with natural materials and specifically designed activities by specialized educators.
