New Opportunities for April 2022

24/3/2022

 
NEW!!!    Nature for Wellbeing and Planet: audio challenge

At The Horniman Museum and Gardens Pavilion
| 10 am – 1 pm | on 8 consecutive Thursdays |
Thursday 7th April, Thursday 14th April, Thursday 21st April, Thursday 28th April,
Thursday 5th May, Thursday 12th May, Thursday 19th May, Thursday 26th May
 
In partnership with the Horniman Museum and Gardens this 8-week course, delivered outdoors in the grounds of the museum, fuses together recovery and wellbeing with loving our planet. It will show us how we can all play our part in the climate emergency and have improved personal wellbeing as a result.  Students will explore how care for nature and sustainable growth can support your and our planet’s wellbeing. You will spend time connecting with nature in the gardens, touching museum objects, learning about soil and native trees, sharing environmental stories in nature, and learning from other cultures about their relationships to nature.  Students will also be encouraged to explore biodiversity in city spaces and take back seeds and ideas to grow in their own homes.
 
The course culminates in the group creation of an audio exhibit that provides positive environmental influence and legacy for the museums’ visitors for years to come. Previous projects have led to a curated box of touch objects and a downloadable trail: https://www.horniman.ac.uk/story/mindful-journeys-at-the-horniman/

Key Information:
  • There are extremely limited places on this course so we request that students considering booking must be available for 7 out of the 8 sessions to participate. If you are unable to make the minimum sessions, please leave the place for another student.
  •  All students are required to support the museum and Recovery College with a well-being questionnaire both pre and post course. This is to show our funders any impact the project might have.
