Have you encountered barriers to running your Forest School? 🌲

Aug 22, 2024

If the answer is yes, you’re not alone, nearly every Forest School practitioner I’ve ever spoken with has.

In my latest video I chat with Sian Lewis who is currently pursuing her master’s degree and has been looking at barriers to Forest School.

🌳 What We Discussed:

·       Viewing the barriers through an ecological model

·       How perceptions shape current thinking in education

·       How Forest School can fit in with the current education paradigm

·       Ideas for overcoming barriers to Forest School

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Feel free to leave a comment on the video or reply to this email with your reflections.

 

🌳 Exclusive Offer – Gain (FREE) Support for your Forest School

One of the barriers we discuss in the video is – the perceptions of other staff and colleagues in the school or workplace.

I want to help you to get the support and investment you need from managers & decision makers to ensure your Forest School programme runs successfully.

That’s why I’m offering out a recording of a past live webinar ‘Evaluate to Advocate – How to gain support for your Forest School programme through Action Research’ -  https://youtu.be/Pp8eC8ymJN4

AND the accompanying googledrive of resources (including a workbook so you can follow along with the webinar) - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AJ5S-10OpmZWSuBqrkvCBAXJNOXUh_nC?usp=sharing

I hope it helps to spread the Forest School grooviness!

Thank you for being part of this community and for your continued support. As Margaret Mead apparently once said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."

Wishing you many Wild Adventures

Lou (& Lily-Roe)
