Fire and Bravery

Igniting Primitive Instincts: Using fire to spark fascination, bravery and body awareness

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

The flicker of the flame and crackle of hot coals is mesmerising to both children and adults alike. Kindling the energy captivated through fascination with fire, we share techniques for teaching: body awareness and safety; the importance of fire; understanding the threat to our Australian environment; plus, the physics of heat and its power for transformation.

The following 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.

This workshop has 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.
