Want to learn inspiring and practical skills to deliver outdoor learning and play opportunities for your students or children in your care?

Our workshops are based on contemporary research and theory, linked to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standard (NQS) and designed to create an immediate impact on your teaching practice.

Nature Play WA’s professional learning workshops offer:
  • engagement with current ideas in outdoor education,
  • time for hands-on activities,
  • discussion with peers,
  • exploration of the topic in relation to their own setting, and
  • concludes with a reflection about the insights, information, understanding or inspiration gained.
