Outdoor adventure
Description
Learn from the forest in the forest, for all age groups on a forest walk with a forest mediator!
The motto of forest education is "Learning from the forest in the forest"
From kindergarten children to 60+, tailor-made forest outings for everyone!
The forest is not just a forest, but a habitat for humans, animals and plants, with many functions, the useful function, the protective function, the welfare function, the recreational function and the ecosystem function.
We immerse ourselves in the world of the forest, experience the forest with all our senses, feel, hear, touch and sense the forest and explore it in a "playful" way, depending on the age of the participants. We look at the forest from different angles, connections become visible that were perhaps previously hidden.
Each forest outing has its own fascination, depending on the forest location, season, participants, etc. But they all have one thing in common: your next visit to the forest will be different, more attentive, more mindful and with an inquiring eye.
A trip to the forest is an experience and enjoyment for all ages - just try it out!
The federal states, the federal government and the European Union promote educational forest outings.
Funding is available for outings with
Kindergarten groups (minimum age 4 years, minimum number of participants 8),
School classes (minimum number of 8 participants),
teachers and teachers in training (minimum number of 8 participants) and
children with special needs (minimum number of participants 5).
Two excursions per class or group are funded per school semester. Excursions on non-school days and during vacation periods are generally not funded. After-school and afternoon care groups are also not funded.
Funded forest educational outings are carried out by pedagogically trained forest mediators and last at least 2.5 hours. The outing can also last longer by arrangement. The forest mediator takes care of the funding. All you have to do is confirm on a form that the forest outing has taken place.
