Kids Teaching Kids - 2011
As
part of the Australia Post Kids Teaching Kids Week 29 August–2 September 2011 Baldivis
Children's Forest became host to a
Kids Teaching Kids Mini Conference. The
acclaimed Kids Teaching Kids Program connects students with locally specific
environmental and sustainability issues and gives them the skills to develop
a student led presentation and workshop to present to their peers. It’s
about using their voice to inspire action and bring about positive change.
The Kids Teaching Kids program at
the Forest during 2011 was open to year 1 through to year 9 students which
went on to reinforce the ethos that you are never too young to start making
a difference.
