Description
Hi,
I'm Margarida,a mom full of big dreams to transform the education in my town. I have a project of nature activities for children, where a small family community meet together every month to play free in the woods.
Now i'm starting a journey to expand my project and start to work with schools and create a learning community based on nature learn and respecting the individuality of every child.
We are located near Nazaré and Alcobaça, in the center of Portugal.
I need help to prepare the new land to host the new tiny school building that has access to the forest and to reorganize the terrain to welcome the children for next school year. As well as lots of creativity and team spirit to participate in the daily forest school activities with the children that stay with us.
I would love to host you, and to connect with your thoughts, ideas and culture because i believe that diversity is the key to success.
Best regards,
Margarida

Olá,
Sou a Margarida,uma mãe com sonhos muito grandes de transformar a educação na minha cidade. Tenho um projeto de atividades ao ar livre para crianças e gostava de começar a trabalhar com escolas e de criar uma pequena comunidade de aprendizagem alternativa, mais ligada à Natureza e mais respeitadora da individualidade de cada criança.
Estamos situados na zona centro do país a 20mts da praia da Nazaré, perto de Alcobaça. Caminho de passos firmes para a construção do meu sonho e para tal preciso de ajuda.
Queremos reconstruir uma pequena área onde possa acolher as crianças no terreno, limpar e organizar o espaço e muita criatividade e espirito de equipa para acompanhar as sessões diárias de encontros na Natureza. Adorava poder contar com a vossa ajuda, pois acredito que a diversidade é fundamental no processo de criação.
Obrigada e espero ver-te breve!
Margarida
