Episode 125 - Tom Bardon on The Wild Passport Programme
In this episode, I interview Tom Bardon on his WILD Passport Programme. We discuss child vs adult led education, defining quality Forest School provision and much more...
Tom Bardon started work in community health development before transitioning to outdoor education for increasing physical activity in Primary-aged children. He then set up Green Man learning in 2012 and has been delivering a variety of outdoor learning initiatives ever since.
