The Glowing Embers blog has been designed to support the Forest School community and FSA members through the Coronavirus period when the majority of practitioners are unable to work because schools have closed. We aim to post blog articles that are useful, informative and/ or a solace. We hope that blogs might prompt an action, a thought or a reflection. Each blog post will be posted on the FSA website and will be linked to a Group page in LinkedIn called FSA Sparks for the Forest School Community. We have chosen to use LinkedIn to reflect the professional status of the discussion and to be inclusive of those who do not use Facebook and Twitter because of the associated potential for emotional conflict.
House Keeping.
- Please follow the FSA Code of Conduct and the FSA website communication rules and guidelines.
