Compulsory pre-visit workshops

Compulsory pre-visit workshops are offered once a term for teachers bringing learners on self-guided visits. These will enable educators to use the Kirstenbosch Garden as a teaching and learning resource.

The target group is educators from schools that will be bringing their learners on a self-guided school visit, i.e. they will be conducting the learning programme on their own without a guide. However, any interested teachers are welcome to attend these workshops.

By the end of the workshop educators will :

• Know the 'do's and don'ts' in the Outreach bus, the Gold Fields EE Centre Garden and the main Kirstenbosch Garden.
• Have received an opportunity to go through available resource material.
• Have participated in activities that they can adapt to suit their own needs.
• Own a copy of the Biodiversity Resource Pack. This pack provides teachers with useful activities that they can use at school and at Kirstenbosch.
• Have gained confidence to take learners through the garden by themselves.
