 Biocitizen Our Place Summer School | Biocitizen's Our Place Summerschool sessions consist of five day-long Field Environmental Philosophy walks that bring students (age 8-12) into direct contact with essential aspects of NYC’s identity. At the beginning of the day, teachers raise a question to launch the quest, and then we’re off on our treasure hunt, hunting/gathering detectives looking for clues to solve the day’s mystery. Students exercise, perceive, share stories and background knowledge together, and have fun experimenting with a way of reading the world called eco-semiotics. They learn their "place" in our place, the most vivacious and fascinating city on earth! Each session we attempt to bring students to sites of first human inhabitation and then work forward to the present moment. This happens recursively and nonlinear-ily; we establish motivs and return and depart them as our environments and attention spans change. We also follow the weather instead of a rigid pre-planned schedule. Our weekly beach exploration happens on the best beach day. The evening before a class you’ll receive an email with an itinerary, that is best suited to the next day’s weather. Our week will likely include: visits to sites where First Contact is documented investigations of: rivers, waterways, beaches, estuaries flora and fauna transportation systems critical infrastructures (water, sanitation, electrical) landmark parks and cemeteries remarkable cultural nodes architectural history encounters with historians, artists, conservationists, government officials Our New York version of our Los Angeles, Massachusetts and Chile programs! | M-F, 9am-3pm, June 20-Sept 2 |
