At Bantani Cymru , we believe in the power of community, creativity, and lifelong learning. Our focus is on empowering individuals through creativity, innovation, and the development of an entrepreneurial mindset.
We are thrilled to launch a project that aims to inspire primary learners aged 8-11 to engage with and appreciate their natural surroundings.
This initiative encourages them to find, explore, research, and create a nature trail near their school. It’s not just about creating a trail; it’s about understanding the nature around it and developing accessible digital visitor guides to promote and enhance the experience.
Key Aims
Empowerment through Learning: We aim to harness the innate curiosity of primary learners, guiding them to discover and appreciate the natural beauty around their neighbourhoods.
Community Collaboration: Our goal is to strengthen ties among local schools, learners, community groups, and dignitaries, fostering a shared appreciation for local nature spots.
Digital Promotion of Community Natural Assets: We enable students to design and curate digital visitor guides, promoting nature trails and enhancing the overall visitor experience.
What we hope to achieve
Engagement with, ownership of and pride in nature, inspiring learners from 10 primary schools to identify, research, and teach others about natural habitats near their schools.
Skill Development, facilitating the creation of tour guide-style resources, focusing on prominent features, flora, and fauna along the nature trails.
Community Involvement, motivating schools to organise guided nature trail events, inviting partner schools, community groups, and local dignitaries.
Continuous Improvement, facilitating peer-evaluation and offering tailored teacher professional development for sustained success.
Partners & collaborators
We are very excited to start work with the schools on developing digital nature trails:
