Forest School Conversations - Jon Cree - Co Creating Learner Led Communities

In this Forest School conversation we chat with Jon Cree, trainer and author, about co creating learner led communities at Forest School.

We cover; Declarative vs Imperative language, how to become partners in learner-led learning, the importance of time, the role of play, how our own emotional state influences the process and more!

Jon has worked within outdoor and nature based education for decades and has been a Forest School practitioner and trainer. He is now enjoying being a Grandad and is a highly sought-after trainer for Forest School CPD.
