This includes sports activities and hiking. The human body does best when the foot can move as it should and feel and respond to the changing terrain encountered during hiking. The human foot is specifically designed to hike in uneven terrain. For that reason, we recommend wearing the following shoes rather than the traditional stiff-soled boots that are typically recommended. Going without the “support” that most hiking shoe companies recommend will actually prevent injuries—especially ankle sprains.

    FRÅN TRÄSKO TILL LACKSKO En studie om folkmusikaliskt lärande innanför och utanför musikutbildningar Olle Hansson Sara Lundbeck Uppsats HT 2011 Handledare: Johan Söderman Musikpedagogik I, avancerad nivå _________________________________________________________ Uppsatser på avancerad nivå vid Musikhögskolan, Örebro universitet Sammanfattning Titel: Från träsko till lacksko En studie om folkmusikaliskt lärande innanför och utanför musikutbildningar Title in English: From clog to dress shoe A study of folk musical learning within and outside music education Denna uppsats behandlar frågor såsom vad som kännetecknar lärande av folkmusik i en institutionell och en icke-institutionell miljö samt vad som händer när folkmusik träder in i musikutbildningar. Vad är det som påverkar låtförmedlingen i de olika miljöerna? Undersökningen har sin utgångspunkt i observationer och intervjuer med representanter från en institutionell respektive icke-institutionell miljö där vi har försökt att ta reda på upplevelser av miljön, stämning, roller och prestationer. Slutsatsen av undersökningen är att de två förmedlingssituationerna är mycket lika men att intentionerna skiljer sig. I den institutionella miljön är utgångspunkten att lära sig att spela och det finns en nyttoaspekt i lärandet av låtar där syftet är att på lång sikt utvecklas inom folkmusik i stort. Inom skolan finns ett ”läxtänkande” där studenten bär ansvar för att utanför lektionerna öva på låtarna och att även där göra sin egen musikaliska tolkning av dessa. I miljöer utanför skolan handlar

    Get Creative! Auaha-tia Research Kia hurahura Think E Whakaaro Discovery Time Ask 17 Paengawhāwhā | April 2020 Kia pātai A Special Pair of Shoes For our educator Mirjam whose family is in the Netherlands. Do you have loved ones far away? How do you keep in touch with them? Hi, I’m Pip. I have a small pair of hand-carved wooden children’s shoes, given to me by my mother. They are 17.5 cm long, 6.5cm wide and 4cm tall. I first remember them sitting on a shelf in our home when I was very young. I was SO small in fact, that when I first tried them on, they actually fitted me and I would clip-clop around. My mother had found them in an antique shop on Molesworth Street, Wellington. How they ended up there is a mystery, but luckily for us there are some clues to their history, written on the back of one of them, more than a hundred years ago! The oldest wooden shoe known was found in the Nieuwendijk in Amsterdam. This clog dates from Fun facts around the year 1230 and is made of alder wood. Wooden shoes are often called clogs. These are heavy work shoes that were typically worn by French, Dutch and Belgian peasants or farming people, until the Known in French as sabots, and in Dutch as klompen, beginning of the twentieth century. these sturdy shoes protected the feet of agricultural workers from mud and wet and from injury by the Historians have traced the origin of clogs to at least sharp tools used in the field.
