The annual popular conference for The Forest School Association.

This is an ideal opportunity to gather with other outdoor practitioners and professionals from the country and attend a varierty of workshops from a wide programme.

Lily’s workshop will be ‘Needs in Forest School’.

From basic needs to play needs, from universal needs to what the world needs. How can reflecting on ‘needs’ help Forest School practitioners create more sustainability in their work and advocate for Forest School?  This is the stuff that has helped me connect with myself, with others and the world. This will be a playful and reflective exploration of theories and practice with some provoking questions and playing with sticks.

It is not possible to book this workshop separately it will only be available as part of the conference package.
