Native Eyes Education

  SCHOOLS WORKSHOPS

Bringing the magic of the wilderness to schools is a key part of the vision that inspires Native Eyes. We can set up an exciting outdoor expedition-style camp in your school grounds as well as give indoor workshops and assemblies. In addition to learning about fire-making, tracking, traditional uses of plants and trees, and foraging for wild food, the children can also be treated to an fascinating session of storytelling. If the school so wishes we can also tailor the workshops to tie in with specific aspects of the National Curriculum. The workshops can also be developed to cover broader issues such as environmental studies, carbon-footprinting, and sustainability.
