What's it all about?
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” – Philip Pullman
Oral storytelling is one of the oldest and best loved cultural practices that continues to be relevant, even today in our media-saturated society. We are all storytellers - constantly telling tales to inform, entertain, inspire and connect with others.
For many years, I taught English in secondary schools and during that time I learnt that the best way to excite and inspire young people - whatever the topic - was by telling a tale! Not only that, but it became very clear that if words are combined with wild (in the form of the 'outdoor classroom') - magic happens!
It's all about encouraging and empowering children and adults alike to reconnect with both the world outside and the stories to be encountered there; to provide for them a spoken word experience that stimulates learning and a deep appreciation of the special connection that exists between stories and the Great Outdoors.
CPD Training for Educators
Whether you're keen to get fresh ideas for teaching literacy, language and literature, or looking to develop your existing curriculum with more outdoor inspired activities, Pridie works closely with schools to design CPD sessions that provide your staff with a whole heap of exciting and imaginative ideas to take back to their classrooms!
Perfect for practitioners seeking to teach in a slightly 'wild-er' way both inside and outside the classroom!
