Forest School Learning Initiative is delighted to extend the provision of Forest School Leader Training in Bristol to enable more practitioners to lead Forest School Sessions. Forest School is a long-term holistic learning process that aims to raise self-awareness and self-esteem in participants.

This course will look at how we can offer children exciting opportunities in scientific exploration within our outside play provision, no matter how small or large the outdoor space is. It will examine ways that children interact with different materials and natural phenomena outside and what we can do to support this engagement.

This day will involve reflection of current practice and research. We will discuss about how to move forwards and jump hurdles that may be preventing you accessing a wild space. We will visit Paradise Bottom to explore a variety of different experiences that you can provide.
