No, it’s not technology \ud83d\ude42 I know, we use it now more than ever, but as you’ve probably noticed it’s not enough. No matter if it’s books or technology it eventually needs to lead to hands-on Experiential Learning<\/a> for children to develop Core Life Skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education cannot be about knowledge and information any more. Our children can easily find it themselves whether it’s a book or a YouTube video. When they look for it on their own, they do it out of their intrinsic motivation, to learn, discover, find out, connect the dots, find a solution, to test and apply in real life. This is what Self-directed Learning is about. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning for one’s self, to nurture your curiosity, your talents, when and how you need it best. This kind of learning is always connected to life, it’s not fragmented knowledge. Children naturally know how to learn this way. They need our help to support the process and not to hinder it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We show parents and teachers how to do it in our transformational hands-on online trainings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

To help you learn how to apply Active Experiential Learning in your setting, Natural Born Leaders has launched a teacher support programme ACTIVE LEARNING STARTER<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a self-paced hands-on online training programme for Early Years and Primary Teachers who are ready to offer Future-Oriented Education based on Active Experiential Holistic Learning and Development.<\/p>\n\n\n
