The Eastern Moors Partnership are teaming up with other partners to bring free 'Bring out the Wild Child' forums for people working with children and families across Derbyshire and Sheffield.
This September we are inviting people to join us at one of four forums which will include a screening of the much talked about Project Wild Thing film, the chance to learn some wild time activities from the Wildtime App and workshops for sharing ideas and enabling discussions around the main issues preventing children and families from spending time outdoors in nature, and how we might work together to tackle them.
All forums take place from 1pm-5pm and are FREE.

David Bond's “Project Wild Thing” film looks at how children are becoming increasingly detached from nature through lack of 'wild play' time. It follows the publication of the Natural Childhood Report by Stephen Moss, commissioned by the National Trust in 2012. The report and film have sparked the Wild Network campaign which aims to get children and their parents outdoors having fun together in nature through 'wild play'.
