November 24: dialogue about child and nature

In conversation with educational pedagogue Dieuwke Hovinga at the Novalis College in Eindhoven

Educational pedagogue and researcher Dieuwke Hovinga will discuss the importance of nature for the development of children on November 24. As a former lecturer in Nature and Child Development (2011-2025) at the Hogeschool Leiden and the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Rotterdam, she has created an active research community around Nature-Inclusive Education.

The Iona Foundation strives for education in which the growing human being can develop as a thinking, feeling, and practical being in and with the world. Education with the aim that children develop in such a way that they help shape the world of tomorrow. In this, education is asked to rethink and act anew. A renewed and strengthened awareness that humans and nature are inextricably linked and that all life is inextricably intertwined is guiding in this.
