<div>Frauke</div> hosting children at an AoH gathering - preparing for the Learning Village at Statenberg Manor in Slovenia, August/September 2012tag:artofhosting.ning.com,2012-08-19:4134568:Topic:607902012-08-19T12:09:07.160ZUlrike von Rückerhttps://artofhosting.ning.com/profile/UlrikevonRuecker
<p>For the upcoming Learning Village at Statenberg manor in Slovenia, a group of people is preparing the settings for hosting the children accompanying their parents to the gathering.</p>
<p>We are looking not only into the practicalities of play and rest space, enough materials for creative play, special food setups etc ... We are also and maybe even more looking into how to truly integrate the children in the gathering, as full participants according to their capacities and wishes.</p>

<p>For the upcoming Learning Village at Statenberg manor in Slovenia, a group of people is preparing the settings for hosting the children accompanying their parents to the gathering.</p>
<p>We are looking not only into the practicalities of play and rest space, enough materials for creative play, special food setups etc ... We are also and maybe even more looking into how to truly integrate the children in the gathering, as full participants according to their capacities and wishes.</p>
<p>If this speaks to you, please join the conversation.</p>
<p>It will for now be very practical in terms of what we need to bring to Statenberg, but we are definitely also looking for good practices from other gatherings.</p>
<p>How can needs of children and adults be honoured?</p>
<p>I am putting this conversation in the category of 'community of practice' because I prefer to see it as a gathering ground with practical application around the question of 'children at gatherings'.</p>
<p>update: on a 2nd thought, the conversation fits better into 'exciting new developments' - it is not linked to a location, and it is a truly exciting new development ;-)</p> Harvest from the first Social Shift Gathering, Philadelphia, PA, 10/23/2010tag:artofhosting.ning.com,2010-12-24:4134568:Topic:48372010-12-24T14:59:14.000ZRia Baeckhttps://artofhosting.ning.com/profile/RiaBaeck
