Really well articulated approach to experiencial learning. The idea that curiosity fuels learning when kids are given enviroments to explore (rather than being 'taught') is something I've seen work in practice too. That line about touching soil creating bonds beyond intellect is kinda understated but hugee. Once someone physically understands their place in an ecosystem, abstract climate concepts stop feeling so detached from daily life.

Thanks for sharing. Curious to hear more about the learning environment you saw in practice. Can you say more?
And I absolutely agree about your last line, great way of putting it.
Beautiful!
Thank you Iva. Appreciate you reading it!
