Nina is an experienced and qualified practitioner in the Forest School model. She is funded for this year-long project for twenty 12-14 year-olds in London. Based on a recognition that at this important stage of their lives, young people often lack guidance, Nina’s project offers the development of self-confidence, a sense of meaning and purpose; the means to these being through connecting with nature, learning bushcraft skills, the use of ritual, greater self-reliance and working as a group. The young people will be chosen from schools and youth groups in North London with recognisably high levels of low-income intake. The programme will consist of 20 x 3-hour sessions offered twice a month, and 3 x 3-day themed workshops, taking place on Forest School sites on Hampstead Heath and in Waterlow Park in North London. Nina will be accompanied by one other person qualified in these practices. Beneficiaries: 20 x 12-14 year-olds.
