森林学校：在自然中发现“美” Forest School: Discover the Beauty in Nature | 黄晓斌 Clement Wong | TEDxPetalingStreet

一般的城市教育体系往往培育孩子看重功利而忽视人性，使孩子缺乏与大自然接触和沟通的机会。面对后疫情时代的重启，我们要重新思考，有什么更好的教育方式可以替代旧有的教育系统？
吉隆坡华德福教育发起人黄晓斌从小女儿热衷学习英文草书上领悟到，要让孩子热爱学习，首先要让孩子发现“美”，而华德福所提倡的全人教育正是培养孩子美与人性的教育。
在建筑行业驰骋多年的他也了解到，森林是和谐与包容的，孩子可以从中汲取各种有益身心的学习素材。如果要实现全人教育与大自然的结合，最好的学习环境就是森林。因此，黄晓斌在吉隆坡创办第一所森林学校，办校的理念如他所说：“让孩子因美丽而赞叹，因赞叹而感动，因感动而由衷地投入学习和奉献。”
Generally, the urban education system tends to nurture children to value utility over humanity, resulting in a lack of opportunity for children to come in contact with nature. Facing a reset post-pandemic, we have to think: is there a better education approach that can replace the older system?
Clement Wong, founder of the KL Steiner School, observed from his daughter’s passion in learning cursive that for children to love learning, they have to first discover “beauty”; and Waldorf education (a.k.a. Steiner education) advocates a holistic style of learning that nurtures children about beauty and humanity.
As an architect, Wong understood that the forest is harmonious and inclusive, which presents a variety of learning materials beneficial to the body and mind of children. Should one desires a holistic education integrated with nature, the best learning environment would be in a forest. Therefore, Wong established KL’s first forest school with the philosophy, “Let children be amazed by beauty, be moved by admiration, and be sincerely devoted to learning by inspiration.”

黄晓斌，本地资深建筑师，也是吉隆坡第一所森林学校的创始人。他在对人智学颇有研究的妻子身上获得启发，加上从事建筑行业多年积累的经验，他领略到孩子与自然生态系统“对话”的重要性。因此，他参考并借鉴国外流行多年的教育体系--“华德福教育”，在本地吉隆坡开办第一所以全人教育为核心的森林学校，通过想象、创造与体验的方式，提供孩子回归大自然、并从大自然身上学习的机会。
Clement Wong is the local senior architect who is also the founder of the first school with classrooms in the forest in Kuala Lumpur. Inspired by his wife later (a researcher in anthroposophy) coupled with his own rich experience in the construction industry, he realized the importance of "dialogue" between children and the natural ecosystem. Therefore, by referring to and adopting "Waldorf Education / Steiner Education", he started the first school with classrooms in the forest in Kuala Lumpur, emphasizing whole-person education as its core approach. Through imagination, creation and experience, the school aimed at stimulating children's learning in three aspects: willing, feeling and thinking, besides providing children with opportunities to associate with the natural environment while learning from nature.
