子どもたちにとって、本当に必要な学びとは何でしょうか？
What if real education didn’t happen in a classroom?

茨城県・八郷で、**Naoki Harabe**さんが始めた「やさと留学（Yasatoryugaku）」は、
子どもたちが自然の中で学び、成長するプログラムです。

In Yasato, Ibaraki, Naoki created a unique program where children reconnect with nature and themselves.

月に2回、日本各地から子どもたちが集まり、
15〜20人で自然の中で過ごします。

Twice a month, 15–20 kids come from across Japan to spend time in nature.

🌾 生活の知恵を学び
🐓 動物とふれあい
🍙 日本の文化や食を体験し
🌳 森や自然の中で自由に遊ぶ

They learn life skills, experience traditional culture, play with animals, and explore the natural world.

最初は不安そうな子どもたちも、
いつの間にか夢中になって遊び、笑顔になります。

At first, they may feel nervous…
but soon, curiosity takes over—and they come alive.

子どもたちに必要なのは、
「何をするか」ではなく、
「自由に感じ、探求できる環境」なのかもしれません。

Maybe what children truly need is not more instruction—
but more freedom to explore.

50人から始まったこのプログラムは、今では200人以上に広がっています。
From 50 kids in the first year to over 200 today.

自然そのものが、最高の教室。
Nature itself is the classroom.

Why would a young out-of-college girl choose to be a shepherdess? Tsering Ladol shares her visceral experience with us.

As written in our friend Yumi Sato’s .playpray recent article, Helena Norberg-Hodge’s “50 Years of Work, is Now Bearing Fruit Among Ladakh’s Youth.” Tsering Ladol is one of them, and not only that, she’s on a path to inspire more people, old and young, ladakhis and non-Ladakhis to connect with animals and humanize them.

“In the traditional culture, the villagers - old and young - would bring their animals to graze at the high pastures in the summer. That was the most wonderful experience. I have never seen happier, healthier people. It was so beautiful...” ~ Helena Norberg Hodge.

From waking up at 6… to walking 10 km in the mountains.

This is not a “routine” — this is a life of Ladol a Young shepherdess in Ladakh.

Every morning begins with milking cows and goats, packing food, and then a long journey into the mountains. Hours are spent staying alert, protecting the herd, and living in harmony with nature.

No shortcuts. No distractions. Just responsibility, resilience, and a deep connection to the land.

In a world of convenience, this way of life reminds us what it truly means to live with purpose.

Would you be able to do this every day?

Everything is interconnected

Modern society taught us to break the world into pieces to understand it.

But Ladakh’s Buddhist wisdom teaches the opposite:

Nothing exists alone. Everything is interconnected.

And when we forget this… we create the crises we face today.

That spirit of togetherness is what truly defines Ladakh.

Watch the reel and tell us —
