Just imagine the possibilities: Triggering children’s curiosity in the great outdoors
An Evening with Dr. Beverly Dietze
November 2, 6:30-9pm
Rediscovering Childhood, 2105 Cliff St SW, Calgary AB
When children’s curiosity is triggered and nourished, their explorations and learning becomes more in-depth, meaningful and intentional. Adults play a key role in creating environments that will activate inquiring young minds and stimulate inquiry. Understanding the curiosity cycle and how those levels may be expressed by children will be explored. This interactive presentation will engage participants in exploring ways that they may contribute to children embracing a sense of wonderment, intrigue, exploration and discovery during children’s outdoor play.
The evening registration is $45 and includes dinner and centre tour.
