Comments from delegates on previous workshops include:
“I loved the whole workshop - it was all so relevant and exciting."
“I learned to think a little differently: it was magic and inspirational.
“Excellent course and fantastic value for money"
“I was worried that this might be an airy-fairy course with lots of talk and nothing practical - instead I found it was one of the best courses I have been on - a day full of inspirational and effective activities using simple resources meaning I could go back to work and try them out straight away - a very good use of time......'
“Thank you so much - this course was inspiring-lots of really interesting and different approaches - and I loved the way you could extend each one to suit different ages, situations, curriculum links or interests...."
'This day gave me a chance to be creative, to be in nature, to remember how important reflection, discovery and exploration are……I feel personally refreshed and eager to pass on this inspiration to my pupils....."
“i learned that outdoor workshops don’t have to be fact-based and full of names and explanations - they can be fun, engaging and inspirational and that leads to a love of the outdoors and to further learning"
