"The more I reflect, the more I see how much I have learned working with you... it’s certainly broadened my ideas of how to use creative workshops to engage people with the museum."

creative ecology is about learning through creative interaction with your local environment - your cultural and natural heritage. It focuses on using a dialogical, democratic approach to learning, encouraging participants to develop confidence in their own creativity and apply that to their learning, through direct interaction with, and reflection on their experiences within, their local natural and cultural environment.
James encourages us to use our bodies and imaginations, as well as our intellect, to enable a more complete and more powerful way of knowing and being with the world, leading to increased self esteem, awareness of our place within ecological and social systems, and a range of learning outcomes from across curricula.
