Numeracy in Nature programme at Ystradgynlais Mind
August 5 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 10:00 am on Monday, repeating until 16 September 2024
This is a 4 week programme designed to help improve confidence relating to maths and mental wellbeing, in a fun and practical way.
Sessions will be outdoor based with opportunities to grow in confidence, learn skills, demystify basic maths challenges, and negative feedback we may have been told about ourselves. As well as connecting with nature, food, the soil, and to have the opportunity to grow some beautiful plants at the same time.
Examples of activities include horticulture, orienteering, ecology, bushcraft, campfire cooking, and games.
