In this episode of the Piece of Hebrew Podcast, we continue our exploration of forest education in Israel. After talking about forest schools in episode 36, this time we speak with Zichry, a forest teacher and the founder of the forest school “Shvilim BaYaar” in Israel.
Together, we discuss what inspired him to create a forest school, what a typical day of learning in the forest looks like, and what children can learn from activities such as building fires and outdoor crafts. We also explore the educational role of play and discuss the difference between a recognized and a non-recognized school in Israel, as well as the current status of Zichry’s forest school.
This episode is perfect for intermediate Hebrew learners who want to improve their listening skills through a real and natural conversation about education, nature, and childhood.
