Allowing Nature To Nurture

Description

The evidence continues to grow - nature is good for the brain! Actually, connecting with the natural world is good for the body, the mind and the spirit. It's an unfortunate reality, childhood has moved inside. In this workshop we'll explore some intriguing concepts such as why dirt is good for the body and how simply adding green spaces will help to enhance the wellbeing of young children as well as the people who care for them. The concept of green exercise will be introduced in this workshop as a catalyst for generating intervention and curriculum enhancing movement activities. Don't let the feel good aspect of this topic fool you - this is real science!
