Program Director, Buds Lead
I love experiential education because it draws upon the innate curiosity, awe and inquiry that is naturally present in childhood. It is through engaging the senses that children are able to make sense of the surrounding world, and to find meaning through their relationship to it. Experiential learning welcomes the opportunity to explore without judgement, to make mistakes, and to solve problems. This learning-by-doing helps children to build a sense of self, a sense of place and a sense of purpose in the world.
