GOALS
Our goal is to forge partnerships with schools in São Paulo, allowing students to spend an educational immersion in the Atlantic Forest. This is an opportunity for urban children to play in nature, and learn about biodiversity and the importance of preserving nature to our lives.
With ecological approaches and environmental awareness, the young minds are going to learn about and have the opportunity to explore nature with different lenses: the ecological worldview.
Learning from nature
Teach about biodiversity,
Susteinable practices
Teach a mutualistic relationship between humans and the planet.
Having fun with nature
Kids are encouraged to leave their gadgets to be able to fully appreciate their surroundings.
In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.
Baba Dioum, 1968
Nature nurtures children
There are a number of studies demonstrating that children’s overall wellbeing such as focus, enjoyment and attention increased after spending time with nature. With technology and modernisation, the lifestyle in the 20th century is deeply correlated with spending more time indoors. The Playground in Nature project allow kids to have outdoor experiences and reconnect with nature and themselves!
