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 designed with a clear focus on knowledge, fun, adventure, and self-exploration. Throughout the programme, you will enjoy local cuisine, appreciate natural beauty, and be involved in traditional and cultural festivities. Our entire itinerary follows eco-friendly travel principles, emphasising sustainable methods while exploring destinations, 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.
