Dark and Light - Conversations with Dr Claire Warden #2

Welcome to Conversations with Dr Claire Warden! In this episode my colleagues and I are going to be exploring ideas around dark and light.We think a lot about children's experiences, both in urban and rural environments; the impact of red, blue and green light on young children and what emotional effect those things might have on their development.We all have really different experiences of light and dark and often our practice is affected by the way that we've experienced it in our childhood and the impact it has on our current practice.Follow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter by searching for Virtual Nature School.

Welcome to Conversations with Claire where we will be having sharing with all our friends around the world looking through the lens of nature pedagogy, discussing the things that matter to us as educators. Today, with over 25 years as an educator and university lecturer, firsthand experience with hundreds of children, many books written, and a PhD in Education, Dr. Warden brings her pioneering child-led, nature-based methods for educators and families worldwide. Whether we're fascinated by the concepts of nature pedagogy, or are really engaged in inquiry-based learning in general, or Floorbooks in particular. Whatever it is that inspires you, we'd love to have a conversation with you in this podcast. The most important thing for me is that all children are on the planet to flourish. The question is, how do we help them do that. How do we encourage those people that are with young children to see that they are very capable and that when we empower them they can be really strong agents for change.
