Just arrived back after a fabulous week in Andalucia at La Jarilla www.lajarilla.net

mania and Germany.
We had a wonderful time there with lots of fun as well as learning…thanks to all and roll on next one in March!
Gold Residential complete and Gold expeditions successfully completed by all in GLORIOUS weather.
Now to Andalucia to run Reflective Leader courses at La Jarilla. Looking forward to place and people….
Planning and preparation underway for both of above, ready to kick off on August 23rd with young people from all over UK and one from Dubai!
Immediately following this is EU inservice teacher CPD course ‘ The Reflective Leader’ in Andalucia.
So diverse groups and activities…but all good!
July is time for us to ‘regroup’ and get ready for a hectic Aug -Nov, though we do have Open Golds/Gold Residentials to run/plan amongst this!
From mid Aug though its FULL ON with Gold Residential, Open Gold, inservice course for educators in Spain on ‘reflective leadership’ , then work for Tallinn Uni, Rakvere teacher training – Estonia on ‘outdoor learning’, inservice course in Italy (outdoor learning) and presenting at a conference on ‘good practice by course providers for courses in EU’ in Turkey straight after.
