Program Detail

Classroom in Nature

Classroom in Nature provides an alternative to traditional classroom settings, enabling learners to explore and acquire knowledge through community interactions while immersing themselves in nature. Here, we learn from soil, culture, nature, and heritage. We believe this approach will enrich the knowledge we gain in the classroom. Our programmes focus on local, traditional, and indigenous knowledge, engaging both the community and students. 

Each programme is crafted with a distinct emphasis on knowledge, fun, adventure, and self-exploration. In the programme, you will savour local cuisine, enjoy natural beauty, and participate in local, traditional, and cultural functions. Our entire programme adheres to eco-friendly travel plans, centred on sustainable methods while exploring places, serving, and learning with and from the community. All outdoor activities will collaborate with local communities as learning centres, mutually supporting each other. These strategically selected communities will participate in the planning, reviewing, preparing, and hosting of the activities undertaken. We believe this will enhance sustainability, networking, and environmental awareness for the present and future generations.
