Forest Homeschoolers on Clubhouse

Description

Welcome to 🌲Forest Homeschoolers🌲!

We provide Virtual Support for parents and educators wanting to connect with others around learner directed practices outside in the natural world. Forest Homeschooling is a portmanteau referring to using the Forest school pedagogy at home.

We are a club for home educators, parents and caregivers wanting to explore learner centred practices outdoors. Whether you are full time outdoors or just learning about the Forest School style for family adventures this group is for discussion and connecting with others interested in Forest Homeschooling.

We also welcome practitioners, learner centred educators and Unschoolers! Regular rooms coming in a few weeks this summer!
