- Alternative Health
Dive into a conversation with Alissa and Nerimen, headteacher at our Outdoor Preschool in Sinai, as they rethink early education inspired by Munir Fasheh. This episode contrasts traditional education, often a passive absorption of fixed knowledge, with learning's natural, ever-present process—like breathing. Check out the SageSistas Blog about Radical Education.
We critique standard schooling's rigid curriculums and explore an approach that embraces experiential learning, child-led exploration, and integration with the local culture and environment. This method respects each child's journey and sees the community and nature as key educators.
Alissa and Nerimen share insights on creating a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and independence, drawing on personal stories and Fasheh's philosophy. They invite listeners to reflect on the potential of education that cultivates holistic, compassionate individuals connected to their world.
This discussion encourages a reevaluation of learning's essence, promoting a future where education aligns with wisdom, context, and community.
