Mid-September, a diesiger Sunday morning in north of Berlin. From a VonKastanienlaub overgrown corner of Broseparks sounds a bright chorus. Kerzenin deep glass bells, garlands, a cake and Quichebuffet, einigeStrohballen to sit down. A group of perhaps forty adult commission’sproposal Circle, song slips are passed around, an energetic woman begins and all agree with: “Colourful are already forests, yellow DieStoppelfelder, and autumn begins.” Children are also many re, Aberman does not look so good: y hide behind adults or disappear right back in bushes.

Heutewird opened natural school at Brosepark. Eleven children between five and nine years of age should learn, calculate and write in and around nature, but also all social skills that belong to school experience. The forest as a place where man comes to himself: it is said to Germans that y have a romantic, perhaps even neurotic relationship with nature. When world goes all time and society tears inside, what are Germans looking for? After ir mental rubber boots to go to green: four of ten best-selling non-fiction books of this autumn Act on Mysteries, DemSeelenleben, healing powers of nature; The bestseller of past years IstPeter probably lives secret Life DerBäume, which, among or things, works on question of what trees feel undwie y communicate.
The Germans are not only spiritually on forest, more and more of m bringenauch ir children re: more than 1,500 Waldkitas have been here since nineties, recently New York Timesund Arte reported. Americans and Frenchmen Envy Federal Republic not only as unästischeDinge as middle-level or dual training, y also come with camera drones to produce images of children imforest that would be good for any Fjällräven advertising – with decisive The difference is that y are still real.
One may hardly believe: nature school at Brosepark in Nieder-Hausen, a few tram stations north of Prenzlauer Berg, is only third institution of this kind in Berlin. Forest kindergartens is capital, according to Federal Association for Natural and Forest kindergartens already seventeen.

The idea of DerNaturpädagogik is as simple as it is obvious. The free nature offers a wide range of experience spaces, so much peace and variety at same time that you can only grow to a more balanced, conscious and intelligenterenMenschen. The old European idea that nature culture would be in some fundamental opposition to each or, UnsAnthropologen, historians and philosophers have long since expelled anyway. So why not put DasKlassenzimmer on glade?
A Thursday morning at end of September, three teachers and six children are waiting – or five are sick today – before Brosepark on bus. The occupation with nature begins on sidewalk: Dan Hagen, one of Wildnispädagogen of team, has knelt with children on an unpaved track; The children collect gravel stones and chestnuts, set m to patterns and numbers. The Busfährt one, thankfully it is completely empty, six noisy children plunge into it.
Fifteen minutes later, column with its heavy hiking shoes arrived at EineKreuzung in botanical park Blankenfelde. In addition to Einigendenkmalgeschützten greenhouses and a field for three fields, re are thirty hectares of free forest and meadow area. Twice a week school class travels here or to anor forest area on outskirts of Berlin.
Hagen has just moved to Berlin from U.S. state of Maine. He speaks English to children, because German-English bilingualism is also part of concept of natural school – in forests of this earth, not only German is spoken. The school part of day begins with a wear report: With great gestures Hagen asks about directions of sky, wind strength, sun’s rays. English can speak in addition to his daughter, whom he has immediately registered with at school, no one yet (“three words about wear?” “idon’t ‘t know!”). The conversation still remains liquid: an eight-year-old girl knows what DieJahreszeit means for animals in park (“The birds are already pulled out”) and can also remember wear of past three days; EineSechsjährige would rar tell her mor’s birthday night before. After a breakfast break on a freshly GemähtenWiese – from Vaude and Deuter backpacks, boxes is brought out, a fruit platter is arranged and passed around – followed by half an hour of free exploring. One girl has called for resin collecting (“The blood of Trees”), AndereKinder help each or to climb a cherry tree.
