Exploring through movement, contact with nature, and conscious experience. Environmental education in the Ninanki program stems from children's authentic needs and questions.
Children learn differently when they explore the world than when they learn a language.
That's why our project is based on natural motor patterns – combining movement with learning to ensure a fuller and more intuitive child's development. We combine movement, environmental education, and consciously building relationships with the place where children live – to foster pro-ecological attitudes, a healthy lifestyle, and a mindfulness of the world from a very early age.
We are inspired by nature – its rhythm, diversity, and laws.
We show how stability and flexibility can coexist – like a rooted plant with a strong stem and moving leaves. It's a symbol of overcoming challenges – through movement, balance, and connection with the environment. In Ninanki's animations and graphic materials, children meet characters living in their natural habitats – from the llama to the tiger, from the kangaroo to the panther. Each of these places – forest, mountain, desert, ocean – demonstrates the importance of harmony between the organism and its surroundings. It is through this world – colorful, dynamic, and real – that we teach children ecology and egology: caring for both the planet and each other.
In the Ninanki program, children learn through movement, play and experience.
Because it's through action that their natural curiosity about the world is best developed. Movement isn't an end in itself, but a tool supporting the process of learning about nature, the environment, and animals. Through physical activity, children spontaneously and authentically engage in discovering the world around them. Observation isn't just about looking—it's about mindful, purposeful perception born from movement and play. To be effective, it requires space, time, and proper preparation. Therefore, the program also emphasizes education beyond the school walls—in nature, in movement, where children can touch, see, hear, and feel the world they're learning about.
Environmental education in the Ninanki program stems from children's authentic needs and questions.
It is their curiosity and desire to understand reality that set the direction—the selection of topics, experiments, and experiences. Every activity—whether physical, sensory, or cognitive—fits into the concept of learning by doing, in harmony with the child's rhythm and the rhythm of nature.
