More Nature Deeper Education

It takes a whole school

Met trots kondigen we de derde editie aan van de More Nature Deeper Education Conferentie op dinsdag 8 april op de campus van Wageningen Universiteit. Met nieuwe partners en een uitgebreider programma met veel gelegenheid om natuurinclusief onderwijs te ervaren, zowel binnen als buiten – en om het groeiend netwerk van scholen en docenten te ontmoeten.
Dit jaar is het thema ‘daar is een hele school voor nodig!’.
Natuurinclusief onderwijs is geen extra tijdsinvestering voor leerkrachten en leerplanontwikkelaars. Er is een dorp nodig om een kind op te voeden en een hele school om tieners en jonge volwassenen natuurinclusief onderwijs te bieden. Dus schrijf je in samen met je collega decanen, remedial teachers, conciërges, roosterschrijvers, mentoren, architecten, de tuinploeg en het netwerk van actieve ouders. We hebben een hele gemeenschap nodig om de natuur in je school te integreren!

It takes a whole school

We proudly announce the third edition of the More Nature Deeper Education Conference on Tuesday April 8th at Wageningen University Campus. With new partners and an extended program with lots of opportunity to experience nature inclusive education, both inside and outdoors – and meet the growing network of educators and the like.
This year, the theme is ‘it takes a whole school!’. Nature inclusive education is not an add-on or extra time investment for educators and curriculum developers. It takes a village to raise a child and a whole school to educate teenagers and young adults. So, bring in your colleague deans, remedial teachers, janitors, schedule writers, mentors, architects and gardenistas and network of active parents. We need a whole community to include a whole school!

Programme

The symposium will start with the creation of a storm. Be ready to invite natural forces inside a classroom! Arita Baaijens will fill the silence with a few words on the theme of the day. In order to reach a whole school, we need a whole ecosystem to inspire a nature-inclusive way of thinking and teaching. Several short and appetitive stories will follow of recent experiences applying nature inclusive teaching in diverse classroom settings, making it relevant in subject matters ranging from language or math classes for children, to academic study programs in the social science or even biotechnology. There will be a moment to digest all this over some snacks and drinks. Fuel to give us energy for the rest of the morning, when we will hear about new developments in the Nature inclusive science field and share our own experiences with Nature inclusive Education. Then, lunch!
Lunch is a great time to go outside. You will receive a train ticket for an immersive journey through time, and will be able to sign up for a diverse carousel of active sessions with a mixed target group, to explore and work towards a whole school with nature inclusive education. At the end of the afternoon, when we arrive at our final destination, we will share the lessons, experiences and inspiration we have gained during the day, and look forwards to another year of bringing More Nature, Deeper Education.
Our goal is to offer everyone new insights, experiences, inspiration and connections to implement Nature inclusive Education through the whole school, throughout the whole country!
