wheatfen forest school

Norwich

Wheatfen Broad in Surlingham is both the inspiration and main location for Wheatfen Forest School. For forty years Ted Ellis, the well-known writer and broadcaster, lived here and devoted his lifetime to natural history. He was one of the great characters of East Anglia and had the ability to communicate his enthusiasm to everyone. Phyllis Ellis, his wife, was passionate about conservation and environmental education, often taking parties of school children around the fen. She had an adventurous spirit and was awarded an MBE for Services to Nature Conservation in 1996 aged 83 (shortly before she took up abseiling). Wheatfen Forest School was established by their granddaughter, Rose Hoare, in 2015. Rose hopes to carry on the family legacy by inspiring a new generation of naturalists and conservationists through Forest School. Wheatfen Broad is also home to the Wheatfen Nature Reserve, which was founded in Ted Ellis’s memory. This stunning wilderness is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is one of the last tidal marshes of the Yare Valley. The Trust aims to preserve its rich and fragile ecology, and to keep this land and its wildlife accessible for the enjoyment and education of all. Our Constitution Wheatfen Forest School CIC is a community interest company limited by guarantee. Company number 10533599. Wheatfen Forest School CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise.

The Pod Project is a community project started in a response to a growing need to do something to feel empowered rather than hopeless in the face of the climate emergency. The Pod Project’s aim is to is create a community of people who want to act now, share creative solutions, teach each other and live healthier more sustainable lives. We want to join the growing movement of community-based initiatives (CBI’s) working across Europe and the world to help people lead more sustainable lives. CBI’s play a significant part in reducing carbon use but also in the wider context, raising awareness, social cohesion, the creation of local livelihoods and retention of wealth in local economies and the feelings of empowerment that can come through working together to bring about change. Through research and conversation, we have identified three key areas we want to focus upon. These are education, wellbeing and sustainability in the context of the individual, the community and the environment. It is evident that many people feel isolated and powerless in regard to finding solutions for these issues. It is our aim to deliver a programme of events under these headings. Empowering people to thrive the old saying goes “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”

ian harris dog training

I've spent a lifetime surrounded by animals and have a particular passion for dogs and for helping those in the most desperate of circumstances. As a qualified chef, I travelled widely during my career and encountered dogs around the world living very different lives to those in the UK. These experiences consolidated my desire to be involved in rescue and rehabilitation and, as the Assistant Head Trainer for ARC (Animal Rescue and Care Vietnam), I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work directly with the neglected and abused dogs of Ho Chi Minh City whilst simultaneously running my own private dog training business.

Cheltenham

Our mission is to work with educational institutions to develop educational solutions to support today’s learners. This will be achieved through activities, which include the strategic design and delivery of interactive and engaging programmes of study through to small online skills based learning courses (eg MOOCs), or through active support of and advice about an institutions’ innovation and change agenda. Examples of our specific areas of activity can be found here. Background The journey of today’s learners in the 21st century needs to reflect a world where shifting job roles and new technologies will impact significantly on career development. This is underpinned by current estimates about new millenials: They are estimated to work in some 15 to 20 job roles over their lifetime, The majority expect to work beyond 65 years of age (and 12% until they die), It is estimated that 65% of today’s school children will work in a job that doesn’t yet exist. Having the necessary skills and up to date knowledge and understanding to underpin multiple job roles over a lifetime will require a commitment to lifelong learning. With increasing state pension ages and average life expectancy worldwide this drives the need for educational solutions to support individuals gaining access to the right job roles and career development. Traditional models of higher education are increasingly costly for learners in developed markets and short of supply (and out of reach in terms of price) for learners in emerging economies. Innovative solutions are needed.

lancaster aikido club

5.0(4)

Lancaster Aikido Club is a not-for-profit martial arts club which has been teaching martial arts in Lancaster since 1976. We train in a friendly atmosphere, focusing on daily practice of Aikido as a pragmatic and functional martial art for self-defence, while endeavouring never to lose sight of its ultimate aim: the cultivation of human beings capable of sharing a peaceful world. Aikido is just as applicable to our daily lives, in our relationships with our family, communication with friends and work colleagues, and most importantly our relation with ourselves, as it is to a situation requiring self-defence. Training will develop you physically and mentally, but neither great strength nor high levels of fitness are required to begin. Wellbeing is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and our goal is to assist in your development; providing encouragement, education, and emotional support throughout the collaborative learning process. Aikido 'toughens the body and polishes the spirit'. Aikido is available to all ages and many lifetime practitioners continue to train into their 70s or 80s. We have senior practitioners training regularly at Lancaster who did not begin training until their 40s. We are affiliated with the Aikikai Hombu Dojo (Japan) and a network of Dojos in Europe (Traditional Aikido Europe) through Lewis Bernaldo de Quiros (6th Dan) who serves as Technical Director and Examiner granting Aikikai dan ranks according to Hombu regulations.
