Join Us for a Fun Family-Friendly Nature Walk with Singapore Democratic School: Discover Self-Directed Learning!
Explore Self-Directed Education
Do you take an interest in topics such as self-directed education, unschooling, and a child-centric approach towards education? If so, you are in for a treat! Join us for a fun and family-friendly nature walk that promises to be both educational and enjoyable.
Understanding Conflict Resolution in Democratic Schools
During our walk, we will discuss how conflict is resolved in democratic schools. In these schools, the rules are not imposed but democratically decided by both staff and students. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among students.
We will also explore the enforcement of these rules through mechanisms like the School Court or Judiciary Committee, as well as reconciliation circles. These practices encourage students to engage in dialogue and find peaceful resolutions to conflicts. It’s a unique way to learn about accountability and community.
Event Details
We will meet outside the Botanic Gardens MRT, near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens. Here are the details for the event:
Date: Sunday, 13 September
Time: 16:00 - 17:30
Location: Botanic Gardens (meet outside Botanic Gardens MRT)
The Importance of Nature in Learning
Nature plays a crucial role in the learning process. It provides a rich environment for exploration and discovery. As we walk through the Botanic Gardens, children can observe the beauty of nature and engage with their surroundings. This experience enhances their understanding of the world.
Benefits of Self-Directed Learning
Self-directed learning empowers children to take charge of their education. It fosters critical thinking and personal accountability. In this setting, children learn to pursue their interests and passions. They develop skills that are essential for lifelong learning.
Join Us!
We invite you to be part of this enriching experience. It’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded families and learn more about self-directed education. Together, we can explore how children learn best in an environment that respects their autonomy and encourages their growth.
We look forward to seeing you there!
