Global Learning and Sustainability programme 2011 - 12

The events range from one-day courses, to involvement in a learning network over a period of 9 months. We work with teachers and educators in the West Midlands and beyond, and between us we offer a wealth of complementary experience and expertise. Both organisations have strong reputations both nationally and internationally for innovative education work and high quality professional development. Our venues offer two contrasting locations for meetings and courses, the Tide~ centre is a modern space in the centre of Birmingham, with easy access to trains, and Bishops Wood is in a delightful location in rural Worcestershire, close to motorway links and main roads.

Bishops Wood Centre works with school classes, teachers, Forest School leaders and environmental educators. The centre focuses on Learning for Sustainability, outdoor environmental learning, Forest School and helping schools to develop their own grounds as exciting places for learning. The 70 acre woodland site is home to a range of exciting eco-buildings, meadows, ponds and a Saxon settlement.  A place full of inspiration for sustainable living and school grounds.

Tide~ global learning is a teachers’ network promoting the belief that young people have an entitlement to global learning through engaging with global perspectives, human rights, sustainability and international development.  Our aim is to encourage teacher creativity, stimulate learning and inspire curriculum development by facilitating creative spaces where teachers can share and learn from each other. We also produce a range of teacher created resources.

We look forward to working with you and your colleagues

In addition to our CPD programme, we can develop a bespoke package of support for your school or cluster, based on your needs – contact us if you would like to find out more.

All of our CPD can contribute towards Masters level credits through an agreement with the University of Worcester.
