In the two-day seminar, you will acquire skills and knowledge, with the help of which environmental education and training will become a pleasure. Inspiring and fun experiential learning will help ensure that ecology does not remain just a concept, but becomes a part of life and awareness. Proven methods stimulate the mind and touch the heart. At the seminar you will learn:

​

• the most successful activities for experiencing nature, which help bring the concepts of ecology to life in everyday life,

• Flow Learning™, a learning strategy in nature that gently, almost magically leads students to an inspiring experience of nature,

• game principles as part of multifaceted, integrated learning,

• forest pedagogy activities that encourage a scientific and intuitive understanding of trees,

• "Journey to the Heart of Nature" program,

• wellness exercises in nature that contribute to personal rejuvenation and inspiration.

Slovenian experts will present good practices in the field of nature interpretation and forest pedagogy. Greg Traymar, a close collaborator of Joseph Cornell and representative of Sharing Nature Worldwide, will present the principles of "Sharing NatureTM", and then, as part of the workshops, practical approaches to experiencing nature.
