Elements of life

Education program for kindergarten
and primary school

About the education program

Earth, water, air, fire, and space – the five elements are the foundation of all life. In interactive workshops, children explore the qualities of the elements, and experience how all phenomena in nature are connected to each other and to themselves. They learn to analyze facts and develop confidence in their own observations.

What we do

Interactive workshops offer space for children to explore, ask questions and unfold their natural curiosity. Through sensory exploration, experiments, movement games, storytelling and creative activities, children can discover the qualities of the elements and how they are the foundation of all natural phenomena. They experience that they are not separate from nature, but an integral part of it.

How does earth smell? What happens if it mixes with water? And why is it important?

Where do we find the elements around us and inside ourselves?

How does fire come about and how is it connected to the other elements?

Global Guardians

Education for the future of our planet

Media overload, lack of physical activity and high stress levels among children are pressing issues. This leads to mental and physical strain and difficulties with concentration. At the same time, children need to be prepared for the growing challenges of our world.

Our education programs enable children to discover how deeply humans and nature are interconnected. They learn to decipher between facts and opinions and experience how their actions shape the world around them. This helps them to develop confidence and responsibility.

The Elements of Life workshops are part of the Global Guardians approach. It is implemented in Germany and Nepal. Further information about the Global Guardians approach will follow soon.

Testimonial

“In particular, the science experiments helped the children recognize the bigger interconnections in nature. Even some time later, the children were still talking about the elements and asking questions – something that rarely happens in regular classroom lessons.”
