1st Summer Conference in Europe

Lorsque je suis allée à la première " summer conférence" en Europe pour les éducateurs 6-12, je ne m'attendais pas à ça:

What we do at a Summer Conference:

Since 1970, we gathered and gone on archeological digs, whale watching, woven, knit, painted and done all manner of hand-work. We have trekked in rain forests, held our collective breath and gone white water rafting. We have created hand-crafted books, told and listened to stories, learned botanical drawing, studied Shakespeare, First Nations people, and had historical dinner parties. We’ve engineered and worked in physics, glacial geology, math, sacred geometry, human development, economic geography, and desert ecology. We have climbed, dug, paddled, swum, written poetry, collected, danced, sung, laughed, observed, and sought serenity.

Our field experiences enhance our love and understanding of the world in which we live while strengthening our relationships among each other and giving us valuable insights into our work.

Attendance at our conferences continues to break records each year. Connect with us to find out what fun and learning is all about!           

Join us because…

• Our annual Summer Conference provides opportunities for growth, fun and relaxation in a week-long, intimate workshop setting centering on a theme. Peers and elementary trainers share expertise in the practical aspects of teaching, bringing a deeper comprehension of Cosmic Education, the materials we use, and the children we nurture.
• Locations are thoughtfully chosen and affordable, generally in a rustic, retreat setting for connecting with the natural world and our colleagues. Time for music, artistic expression, “Going Out,” field experiences, and fellowship are always included. Participants are welcome to bring their families.
• Sharing sessions for all classroom levels provide time to discuss classroom challenges and successes and exchange helpful hints.
• Reviews of topics, classroom extensions, and resources from each conference are shared in our member newsletter.
  

Je pensais que c'était une suite de conférences. Mais c'est tellement plus que ça. C'est un moment de partage avec des gens aussi passionnés que vous! C'est tellement ressourçant. Cela m'a redonné l'énergie nécessaire pour entamer la nouvelle année et j'en avais besoin.

De plus le lieu choisi n'était pas n'importe lequel et il mérite un article  à lui tout seul! Que d'inspiration, de plaisir, de repos. N'hésitez pas allez-y!
