Testimonials
Taking Learning Outdoors, Italy June 2011

Irene and Ally, I cannot thank you enough for the opportunities I experienced in Schilpario.  It not only redirected and refocused my approaches to teaching and the children we teach, but allowed me to apply these approaches to various other aspects of my life in general.  The content of the course was immense fun with as much challenge as we cared to embrace in a beautiful setting with an amazing group of people.  The whole experiential learning and especially the reflective practises have reinforced some of my own values and believes and opened up new avenues to explore.

A little trepidation moved on to a variety of challenges and great  fun to a huge impact overall.

Thank you very much for doing it sooo well.
