Outdoor Learning at Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking
LEARNING DAY IN THE OUTDOORS – 17 OCT 2023
Booking is open for our next Learning Day at Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking (10am-4pm). Our topic will be “How can the outdoors help us be better facilitators”. Join Nigel Berman from School of the Wild for a participatory and experiential day in the outdoors, combining conversation and nature-based learning.
Studies have shown that outdoor learning correlates with greater group bonding and cohesion, enhanced learning outcomes, more creative thinking, well-being, concentration, behaviour, memory, and confidence.
Based around a campfire, we’ll explore different ways of answering the question of how nature can help us be better facilitators, using our head, heart and hands, and reconnecting to the wisdom of nature. You’ll leave feeling restored, energised, and inspired.
Learning Days are open to all AoF members and also offered as a Taster Day for those who are new to AoF and wish to work and learn in a collaborative environment. Do share details with those you know and feel free to come along if you want to find out more about the Association of Facilitators.
Cost are £80 members, £100 non-members, and lunch and refreshments are provided. Places are limited so please book early to secure a place. Email us or call us on 0203 282 7128.

After 12 years of training, accrediting and supporting facilitators, Brian and Bella would be interested to understand a little more about our network and members via this survey – just 10 simple questions which should take less than 5 minutes to complete. We will compile and share the results with you including any data on professional facilitation fees disclosed by survey participants. You can contribute anonymously if you wish.
