Discovering, recovering, and reconstructing ourselves and our communities in relation to the places we inhabit is the goal of place-based education. It is the ultimate educational challenge of our time to learn to listen to the complex relationships that exist between humans and the non-human world. Programs created and implemented by Listen To The Land provide a bridge for participants to explore, learn and celebrate these relationships on farms and natural settings in Indiana.
We work in partnership with organizations to design programs specific to the place of operation. These programs promote sustainable living practices and a bioregional economy. Contact Amy Rhodes to learn more and discuss how Listen To The Land can help you develop your interpretive program ideas.
