Increasing Emotional literacy through work in the natural world.

“Knowing the natural world elevates the very concept of life.”  This concept, as expounded by evolutionary biologist E O Wilson, lies at the heart of this workshop.  In this day and age where the fast pace of life and stress can impede child development, and dare I say it teacher/educator development, this day will contain strategies and techniques for working with emotional literacy in the outdoors to support learner development.  Through a series of reflection exercises in the natural world and an approach that says ‘they can because they think they can’ this workshop is a must for both environmental educators and teachers.

Location: Dartington, near Totnes, Devon.

Times: 9.30am – 4.30pm
