*A Frobelian exploration of outdoor play and learning* conference aims

Bruce
CBE, Helen Tovey, Principal Lecturer, Roehampton University, and

of
presentations and panel discussions on the topics of:

- child-initiated learning in the outdoor environment.
This conference is supported by the Incorporated Froebel Educational
