Connected to Nature - at our place! Free Teacher Workshops, 2020

Thanks to all the champion teachers whose participation made our 2019 pilot Workshop series so successful!

Building on feedback from last year, the Enviroschools and Cape to City team is excited to reveal plans for four new free “taster” workshops in 2020. Participants will take home ideas to inspire learning and teaching from ECE - Secondary with a specific focus on place-based learning in local environments.

Outdoor learning in, about, for and from the environment values the experiences learners bring to their learning, across all cultural backgrounds and levels of ability. The natural world provides authentic, exciting contexts for learning at every stage, across the curriculum, with well-documented benefits for learners’ health, wellbeing, happiness and engagement. Outdoor learning literally provides “common ground” for all. What’s not to love?

All our workshops will commence at 3.45 pm with afternoon tea, and finish at 6.00pm.

You will be notified when Registration for each workshop opens, four weeks before the date. Once registered, further information will be provided. If you have any queries, please email or phone Sally Chandler 06 833 8036 or Megan McBride 027 2014 766.
