Listen "The joys and challenges of Forest School in Hong Kong"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we were absolutely delighted to be joined by Tamara Norris, an outdoor educator based on the island of Lamma in Hong Kong. Tamara joined us to talk about her experience of doing her Forest School Leader Training with us and how she uses it now on the other side of the world. We talked about how a Canadian childhood has embedded her love of outdoor learning, the challenges of risk assessing in a setting where poisonous snakes are present and how the changing climate is affecting her sessions. We also discussed how it is delivering Forest School sessions in a culture that is risk-averse and her approach to this.It was a joyful and vibrant conversation, and it was such a pleasure to hear about the incredible work she's doing in Hong Kong and China.
