In Service Learning B, “Nature Experience Activities and Child Growth,” through nature experience activities, children in infancy and adolescence will come into contact with the power to live (knowledge, virtue, and body). From the spring semester to the summer semester, we will work on three hands-on learning activities with the aim of cultivating the ability to support growth.
In the first experiential learning, participants participated in the "Forest Play for Children and Adults" sponsored by Miki Horseland Park (Eo no Mori Training Center) held on June 6nd, and learned how to interact with young children. I learned about and support methods experientially.A report from a student who participated said, ``At first, it was difficult to make friends. I used to play with only 2 children, but before I knew it, most of the children started to gather around me.”
The second hands-on learning activity is scheduled for July 7th and 27th at a family camp at the "Summer Children's Outdoor Classroom" (Eo no Mori Training Center).
