This is a two-day workshop for anyone interested in learning more about the foundational pedagogical theory and practice of Forest and Nature School (FNS). This workshop is especially recommended for those who want to learn more about FNS prior to committing to our year-long Practitioners Course.
Participants will learn about play-based learning, how to support risky play, specifically, emergent curriculum, and inquiry-based learning, as well as planning and delivery of FNS programs. Participants will leave the workshop with a broad understanding of FNS theory and practice, and, if they are educators, a sense of how they could interweave FNS into their current teaching practice.
Limted seating for those who are ready for land based learning and an Anishinabek worldview !
