The course will combine theory and experiential learning to offer participants a deeper understanding of what forest school is and how it can be implemented from the school-yard to a sprawling forest or the banks of the river, at a daycare with toddlers or in your own backyard with your children.
Our experienced instructors will introduce and explain how they use Forest School methodology with the children in their care; including emergent child-led, experiential, inquiry-based, play-based and placebased learning approaches.
In the second weekend, participants will have the opportunity to act as a facilitator and put into practice the skills that they have learned in the first half of the course. Upon completion of the course participants will have the knowledge and tools to feel confident bringing children outside to learn and play.
