More about Lessons in Grass
What's said about us:
Who are we?
dr.sc. DIANA GARAŠIĆ Educator and GLOBE Program national coordinator in Croatia
"I am not surprised that this is popular among your teachers - those are really nicely created pages with a lot of beautiful and creative ideas for activities, well didactically shaped and explained."
TOMÁŠ CHROBÁK
1. in Global Teacher Prize CZ and finalist of the World Global Teacher Prize
"I teach mathematics and physical education and thought why not combine them outside? Children nowadays sit and watch their screens too much. They are energised and their senses come alive when they spend time outdoors."
KATEŘINA VRTIŠKOVÁ
1. in Global Teacher Prize CZ
"It's not only children's brains but also their bodies and their relationship to a place that develop when we teach outdoors. Your materials and inspiration help in preparations and bring new ideas easily which ultimately saves time."
Lessons in Grass is an international project run by TEREZA, Educational centre.
We have years of experience in guiding teachers. The educational centre has been active in the area of environmental education in the Czech Republic since 1979. The key values which the work of TEREZA is based upon are the environment and education. They are promoted through the initiative, honesty, openness, respect and cooperation of those working in the educational centre.
