The rainforest makes its entrance on the Zugerberg! An indigenous leader in a classroom is not something that happens every day or any day.

This summer, we invited a very special guest. Manari Ushigua, political and spiritual leader of the Sápara Nation in the Ecuadorian Amazon, shared his knowledge for a day full of insightful sessions and special traditional ceremonies. The aim was to raise awareness on the vital issue of the Amazon, the lungs of our earth. We believe in education, there is a need for a complementary balance between embracing new technologies and maintaining mindfulness, connection to our roots and Mother Nature.

Lay back and watch the video, where our students connected with each other, with the forest, with the earth, with the wild places and listen to their powerful messages.
