Event description

Saying 'YES' to Risk

Join the Educated by Nature team in this 2 hour workshop for educators, parents and students.

Educated by Nature are intentional about creating space and actively supporting children to experience risky play. We model positive, empowering and confidence-building language that supports children to take risks. This is coupled with the provision of time and space for children to experience their environment and make necessary decisions to navigate risk. When we trust in children’s abilities and provide opportunities for investigation and engagement with risk, they unlock their innate learning potential. This workshop explores the concept of risk in children’s play and parent perceptions of risk. Ellen Sandseters’ six types of risky play are outlined with discussion about the ways in which these can be used in various child-based settings to support deep engagement and authentic play opportunities. The hands-on section of the workshops allows for discussion on benefit-risk assessment preparation and challenges in implementation of risky play.

This Professional Learning workshop has been designed to consider the whole child in their development through interaction with nature in a school or early learning environment. Trudi and Daniel combine child development theory with storytelling and experiential activities. Their aim is to help educators take the first steps required to commence, reinvigorate or enhance outdoor learning possibilities.

Each 2 hour workshop costs $60 per person and includes a theory and hands-on component. Sessions are capped at 30 participants.

This workshop have been designed with reference to the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Teaching Standards. Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.4

Participants receive a certificate of participation at the completion of this workshop.
