NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom, 2012/10/05 - Archimedes Training to deliver Taster Day for those interested in finding out more about Forest Schools - ForestSchools.com / Archimedes-Training.co.uk.

Forest Schools use regular, long term programmes in natural areas for personal, social and emotional development in children and young adults as well as promoting respect for heritage and nature. The sessions are run by professionally trained and assessed Forest Schools Practitioners who use play, bush skills such as fire lighting and wood craft in a learner led environment where the journey creates its own rewards.

The taster session will be led by our highly experienced Forest Schools Trainers and will introduce:

• The ethos and philosophy of Forest Schools;
• Pedagogical approaches;
• The long term nature of Forest Schools;
• Risk and its benefits.

Delegates will be able to try their hand at some Forest Schools Skills and be able to take a memento of the day home with them.

A campfire cooked lunch will be provided as well as tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day.

Archimedes Training is the leading provider of Forest Schools qualifications in the world and we pride ourselves in delivering outstanding training which can transform organisations and the staff that work for them.

Some of our head office staff will also be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions and take discount bookings for further training.

The day will also provide an excellent networking opportunity for you to meet with a range of people from organisations across the UK. The nearest train station is Grindleford where we will be providing a shuttle service free of charge to the wood – please book in advance.

We look forward to seeing you there!
