At Naya Nature Foundation, we put our safety practices at the service of children’s development. We base our pedagogical approach to risk on 3 pillars:
- educating children to assess and anticipate risks;
- preventing exposure to severe dangers;
- limiting the hazard’s severity.
At all times, we empower children to understand and take control of their safety, to assess their risk-taking and to adjust their games to their own benefit-risk ratio.
Whether they touch and taste wild plants, climb trees or play with dogs in the park (and much more…), we have them reflect about their acts and eventual fears. We systematically have the security rules explained to and by children.
Our safety guidelines are written for the benefit of the child, of others and of the local nature in which they thrive. As a result they have a deep knowledge of their direct environment, they respect the living in it and they explore safely.
