Wild Earth - Self Directed Learning

Wild Earth is a nature-based, self-directed learning community, which is pioneering a new model which seeks to strengthen children’s resilience, improve their well-being and to enhance their engagement with climate action. Wild Earth does this by bringing children to nature, by providing access to bio-diverse spaces where children are free to play, explore their interests and to deepen their connection to the natural world whilst being active participants in a sociocratic community.
