Three basic rules

I welcome you to Silvestres, I am Vicky Mateu, and with enthusiasm I want to offer you what I have been cultivating for years as a facilitator, disseminator and companion in education environments guided by the person and nature.
Nature invites us to regulate the rhythm, to listen and to feel. And from here are born these videos that today I share with you in Aplicaset.
Infancia Silvestre videos, available in Aplicaset, are born with the desire to share views, knowledge and practices that bring education closer to nature. They are pieces created to be useful, close and inspiring, and to help professionals, families and people interested in incorporating nature as a living, safe and enriching educational space.
Through these contents we will delve into the pedagogy of forest schools, their origin, their principles and the work they develop. We will talk about the role of the adult, safety, wellbeing and the learning that comes from contact with the natural environment. Each video is an invitation to observe, to listen and to live development and education from a living and respectful perspective.
The contents that you will find in Infancia Silvestre are intended to be close and inspiring tools, designed for professionals, families and people linked to education, upbringing and accompaniment who wish to incorporate nature as a living and educational space.
We will explore topics such as:
What is a forest school and what are its foundations.

The importance of continued contact with nature for holistic development.

Basic rules and safety criteria for going out in the natural environment with children and youth.

How to prepare ourselves as adults to support groups in living spaces.

Practical skills and resources that we can apply in different educational contexts.

Nature reminds us that everything has a rhythm and that learning is an organic process. Therefore, the videos are not just theory, but want to transmit a way of looking at and being with children, based on close accompaniment and respect. They are guides that accompany, not closed manuals; paths that open up so that each person can adapt them and make them their own.
The idea is not to offer closed recipes, but to open windows and sow seeds. Seeds that everyone will make grow at their own pace, just as the forest does with each tree.
These videos are also an invitation to reflect on how nature forges essential values such as sustainable ethics, resilience, a sense of community, creativity and autonomy. We need adults who feel confident and able to take advantage of the opportunities that the natural environment offers us.
I hope these videos nurture you and help you bring a little more nature into your daily life and professional environment. May these contents inspire you and accompany you to walk more often outwards -to the forest, to the countryside, to a park, to the beach- and inwards -to listening and being present-.
Thank you for being here. The more people we are close to nature, the closer it will be to us.
