Learning Resources

Tools For Teaching & Learning

Here learners and educators can find the tools to finish Jungle Jinni’s story and share their vision of the world, with the world. Our continuously expanding library of curricula covers various themes of environmental education, such as over consumption, overproduction and managing eco-anxiety, designed by experts in the fields. Pairing storytelling with interactive curricula, we hope to encourage new students of the environment, to learn and engage with the environment in practical and meaningful ways, that empower you to not only imagine a new world but know that you have the tangible power to create it.

Dedication

Dedicated to my first students at CATIE, who are the muse to many of the activities you will find throughout the Jungle Jinni curricula. Who embraced with full faith the methods to my madness and matched me with theirs, transcending me to new heights. You have taught me that sometimes learning looks loud, messy, chaotic, and dare I say, fun. That learning can sound like singing, laughter, and chisme too urgent to wait. That learning can feel like hugs, happiness and peace of mind. You have taught me that the best way to be remembered is to teach people something that they’ll never forget. I will never forget you.
