7. Nature Play for the 7 Senses with Jena Jauchius

BUCKLE UP AS WE TRAVEL TO FIND "SEEDS OF INSPIRATION" FROM OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Each month, we visit a new Outdoor Classroom and celebrate the power and purpose of Teaching Gardens. We also highlight the brilliant creative work of the many educators who have taken their outdoor space from an unproven concept to an engaging Outdoor Classroom. Many are graduates from our Outdoor Teaching Bootcamp, members of our CIRCLE community, and experts in the nature-based learning field.
