The Bumblebee Class: Animal-Assisted Adventures for Little Explorers
The Bumblebee Class at the Martin-Buber-School in Leichlingen – a school focusing on intellectual development – is planning a very special project: an animal-assisted intervention on a farm. Seven pupils aged 6 to 8 are looking forward to meeting animals, discovering nature, and learning with all their senses.
Whether feeding horses, observing chickens, stroking sheep, or marvelling at lambs in spring – direct contact with the animals allows the children to have valuable experiences, strengthens their perception, and promotes emotional and social skills.
In cooperation with Souris Reiter, the Institute for Systemic Trauma Pedagogy and Animal-Assisted Intervention, the project is to be implemented on an idyllic farm in Haan-Gruiten – for unforgettable experiences and very personal developmental steps.
The project was nominated by our sponsoring member Kirsten Baier.
