How our international training works
Open courses
Open courses bring together freelancers, individual educators and small groups from different organisations. They are perfect if you are pioneering Forest Schools in your area, or if your school or nursery wants to send one or two staff members for training.
You join a cohort of like-minded practitioners and graduate with a qualification that is recognised internationally.
Organisational courses
If you have a team of educators, an early years setting, or a network of schools that wants to train together, we can deliver a course exclusively for your group. This works well for organisations that want to embed the Forest Schools approach across their whole team.
Get in touch and we will design a programme around your people, your environment and your goals.
Forest Schools, everywhere it grows
Forest Schools happens all over the world. We have been privileged to train people from a wide range of communities and cultures, both with practitioners travelling to us in the UK and through us delivering courses in their own countries, shaped to the human and natural community in which they live.
Every place is different. The woodland in Mumbai is not the woodland in Sheffield. The community in Bogotá is not the community in Bangkok. Our role is not to impose a model but to share the principles and let them take root in a way that fits where you are.
More than anything, we want to see Forest Schools grow and take on the character, needs and hopes of your place and your people.
Bring Forest Schools training to your country
If you would like us to come to your country and run a Forest Schools training course, we want to hear from you. Whether you are an individual educator gathering interest, a school looking to train your team, or an organisation wanting to lead the introduction of Forest Schools in your region, get in touch.
