Petra Jäger vom Waldkindergarten Flensburg hat zusammen mit dem digitalen Fachblatt „Nature Flow“ einen Online Kurs auf die Beine gestellt. Das digitale Fachblatt „Nature Flow“ ist unter dem Dach der Genossenschaft Feuervogel für Naturpädagogik in der Schweiz.
Uns ist es ein wichtiges Anliegen mit dem Kurs, die langjährige Waldkindergartenerfahrung aus über 25 Jahren anzubieten. Neben den erfahrenen NaturpädagogInnen, die ihre Fachkenntnisse auffrischen können, geht es uns auch um die jungen Menschen, die nun so langsam immer mehr in unsere Fussstapfen treten und durch den Kurs von der über 25-jährigen Erfahrung profitieren.
Der Online Kurs für Natur- und Waldpädagogik resultiert aus professioneller elementarpädagogischer Arbeit in der Natur, insbesondere im Wald. Das Basis- und Zusatzmodul erweitert und vertieft die Kenntnisse in Natur- und Waldpädagogik, speziell für das Arbeitsfeld Waldkindergarten / Waldspielgruppe.
Was erwartet die TeilnehmerInnen?
Die 10 Module, aus der elementarpädagogischer Arbeit in der Natur, sind so praxisnah und authentisch aufgebaut, damit Teilnehmer dieses Kurses direkt ins Handeln kommen können.
Petra Jäger hopes that the concept of the forest kindergarten will be spread more and more throughout the world. In addition, she dreams that more and more people will dare to change systems and that children will be able to learn in a way that
to learn in a way that is meant for them: with joy, curiosity and in freedom
