Какво? Сдружение Зарика има удоволствието да сподели с вас този чудесен обучителен курс по темата за натуралистичната интелигентност в младежката работа, който се организира от нашата партньорска организация Zavod Aspira. Натуралистичният интелект, както се признава от теорията на Гарднър, обхваща способността за дълбоко разбиране и оценяване на природата, което позволява на хората да се потопят напълно в природната среда. Основната цел на това обучение е да даде възможност на младежките работници и лидери да насърчават натуралистична интелигентност в съответните им младежки общности. Чрез усъвършенстване на уменията, необходими за ангажиране и оценяване на природата, участниците ще получат ценна представа за създаването на обогатяващи преживявания за младите хора. Къде?
