Objectives

The project aimed to achieve the following objectives: To foster, through the realization of a transnational event, the exchange among all partners of best practices in the projection and realization of outdoor activities, structured as true educational paths that are integrated to all the educational program To create a toolkit for educators with activities to be conducted outdoors with children and their parents; To improve the quality of education provided to children from a very early age, enriching it with new educational proposals able of stimulating the child's sensory perceptions and creativity, promoting greater contact with nature; To contribute to raising parents' awareness on environmental issues so that they do not dissipate the educational results achieved by educators, but instead become protagonists in the process of environmental education

Background

G.Re.E.N has been developed with the goal of encouraging educators and parents to involve their children in outdoor actvities from a very early age (0 - 6 years). Despite the undeniable benefits associated with promoting an education in close contact with nature, outdoor activities facilitated by educators and parents remain sporadic as the natural environment is often considered full of dangers and risks. For this reason we feel the need to equipe educators with tools they might use to propose a greater number of outdoor educational activities meanwhile we feel the need to educate parents towards a more genuine relationship with the environment so that they can promote a natural educational approach together with educators
