Project : FUN WITH NATURE PROJECT

Our environment needs to be saved! ‘Environment’ used to be thought of as a minority interest for well meaning nature lovers but nothing could be further from today’s reality. In fact, the environment concerns all of us, because it relates to every aspect of the world we share and depend on for our survival. It influences everything we do: how we live, work and play, our health, our safety and the quality of our lives. That’s why Information about environment for children is urgently needed. In order to achieve a better grasp of the complexity of environmental situations, the need to adopt a more global outlook based on an interdisciplinary approach is raised. Education is thus seen as a tool for change conducive to the creation of new relationships between humans and their environment.

Environmental education is not always given on the class. There are several ways to send message about safeguarding environment, such as music, games, arts, etc. In another word, environmental education can through with fun. Especially for children, to explain complexity of nature and environment as simple as they understand is one of a challenge. So that this project is began, “FUN WITH NATURE”, to deliver message about environment to children by puppet show. Help individuals and communities to understand the complex nature of the natural and the built environments resulting from the interaction of their biological, physical, social, economic, and cultural aspects, and acquire the knowledge, values, attitudes, and practical skills to participate in a responsible and effective way in anticipating and solving environmental problems, and in the management of the quality of the environment.
