कभी सोचा है 'लंडन ब्रिज' कविता के पीछे क्या कहानी है? बेशक यह सवाल हम सभी के मन में कभी ना कभी तो आया होगा। हमारी शुरुआती शिक्षा का काफ़ी बड़ा हिस्सा पश्चिमी संस्कृति से प्रभावित है, जिसके कारण यह कविताएँ हमारे लिए थोड़ा कम संबंधित हो सकती है। कुटुकी जैसे ऐप्स बच्चों की शिक्षा में क्षेत्रीय सामग्री को शामिल करके इस समस्या का समाधान करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। सुनिए कैसे ऋषि वाल्मीकि इको स्कूल के शिक्षक पढ़ाई को सरल बनाने और सुधारने के लिए भारतीय संदर्भ से उद्धारणों को एकत्र करते हैं।

Ever pondered the meaning behind the rhyme 'London Bridge is Falling Down'? It's a question that has likely crossed the minds of many Indians. Much of our early education content has been influenced by the west, making it somewhat less relatable for us. However, homegrown apps like Kutuki are revolutionizing this by emphasizing the importance of aiding children's learning with locally relevant content. Listen to the insights of teachers from Rishi Valmiki Eco School as they share how integrating Indian references and context into the learning process simplifies and enhances education.

This podcast is also available in Tamil and Hindi.

#020 – What would this world look like if kids were taught from a young age to cultivate connection with the wisdom of the Earth? 

Join us for an incredible conversation with Patricia Walsh-Collins on how to help children connect with the living relationship between Nature, people, art, and the self. 

In this episode, Patricia shares about her experience with Earth School and why it’s important to cultivate awareness of the connection between inner wisdom and Nature from a young age. She also offers experiential insight into the power of giving kids permission to be innately who they are, and the value of demystifying intuition and honoring cyclical ways of being in Nature.

Patricia Walsh-Collins is an Intuitive Educator and the Founder and Director of the Art of Spirit's, Earth School. The mission of Earth School is to facilitate a child's spiritual connection to their inner life, through a living relationship with the Natural World and all beings.

Dr. Paula Kahumbu leads a powerful Kenyan conservation NGO, WildlifeDirect, focused on community development, children’s education, impact storytelling, wildlife justice campaigns, and action for new legislation and policy.  

Their famous Hands Off Our Elephants Campaign to protect elephants and end elephant trafficking in Kenya has reduced elephant poaching by 80% and began a truly impactful shift at all levels of society from rural communities to business leaders and political decision makers. This kind of shift in behavior change is what we’re diving into in this conversation with Dr. Kahumbu, who shares what her work taught her about changing the hearts of a nation.
