Storytelling at Forest School

I am thrilled to share that I had the privilege of being the guest speaker for the Forest School Association's monthly webinar, "In the Thicket."

My presentation focused on the power of incorporating storytelling into Forest School practices. Throughout the webinar, I wove captivating tales to illustrate various topics such as "finding the storyteller's heart," the rich history of storytelling, and its profound influence on culture and childhood.

Towards the conclusion, I delved into the vital role of stories in Outdoor Education practices, emphasising how they serve as guides, facilitators, and playmates. If you're eager to explore this fascinating topic, you can view the entire webinar by clicking the image below:
