A workshop for early years educators to connect to and learn with their local everyday places.
In this workshop, educators will experiment with arts-based processes that respond to everyday encounters with Place. When we view Place as a living system and take time to tune in deeply with the world, we learn that Place is a pedagogical force that is always in motion.
