Forest Schools Practitioner Wanted

I am looking for a practitioner to run some multi-sensory activities in the outdoor environment.

The project is part of the Creative Partnerships Enquiry School Programme and will be working with children from a special school in Calderdale, therefore I am keen to find someone who has experience of working with people with multiple and complex learning difficulties.

The project will take place primarily in the Spring term but will involve some planning and evaluation sessions before and after that - approximately 12 days in total. The school are very interested in the Forest School initiative and are looking forward to learning about how it can benefit their children, many of whom have few chances to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the great outdoors.

If you are interested and would like to receive the project brief, please contact me: tel 01274 256923 annie@artworksbradford.org.uk
