What we'll do
Join us for a 1.5-hour interactive workshop where we explore and challenge the way inclusion is currently fostered in Forest School settings and the wider community. We'll explore how we uplift diversity, how power operates, build kinship, and nurture curiosity. This session will provide a supportive space for delegates to share their voices, experiences, and ideas. Rich and Marina wanted to create a safe space to explore inclusion and draw on both personal and wider cultural experience. In this short time, we hope you will leave with a sense of how you as a practitioner can address and begin the person reflection surrounding issues of oppression and exclusion.

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
