I an delighted to be speaking at the Transformations for Teaching conference this year and am spending my day preparing for it. I am talking about our work with the horses with children and young people:
- children in mainstream education
- children with learning difficulties
- children who have suffered abuse of some sort
- young people who have offended or at risk of offending.
I’m excited about sharing this, especially as we are gradually collecting hard evidence that being with the horses makes a difference both to learning and wellbeing.
Quite apart from this being a wonderful conference, Findhorn is a magical place – especially in May when the days are long and often sunny. Great for beach walks and bird watching!
It also has an interesting collection of eco-houses ranging from some like the one in photo that are made from old whisky barrels through to wonderful modern homes – all of which have helped it to be a centre of excellence for the construction of eco buildings.
