Welcome to the Forest
|
| When we think of early education, we often default to visions of desks and rote memorization. We don’t think of schooling as an outdoor activity.

Forest Schools’ early roots are based in Scandinavia, but now there are practitioners across the world. This video shows the benefits of independent, child-led activities in the richness of an outdoor environment, rain or shine. |

The film explores the thread linking the virtue of bowing in humility and the routine of bowing which these women undergo countless times while rag-picking. { read more }
