NATURE EDUCATION
Increasing nature literacy
We believe that every young person should be nature literate; you can’t care about what you don’t understand or experience. Through spending time in wilder nature we want young people to learn to read the natural world around them, to recognise our interconnectivity with the wider ecosystem and to consider the role we have as custodians of this planet.
We are also interested in developing bespoke sessions for more vulnerable members of the population, whether that’s young people not currently in education or children in care. Our academic system inevitably ends up rewarding a particular set of skills and abilities, at the Grange Project we believe in the importance of holistic learning and the power of creative and practical activity outdoors.
Working in collaboration with schools across South Wales, we are developing a range of educational resources and programmes that can easily embed into the Welsh curriculum. Across Key Stages 1 to 5, we want young people to leave the Grange Project with new knowledge and skills, as well as having experienced the wellbeing benefits of time outdoors.
Please contact us on hello@grangeproject.co.uk if you’re an educator in the region interested in working with the project.
