      <image:title>Spaces - The Biophilia Project believes in the power of spaces: spaces to connect with nature, spaces to learn and explore, and spaces where people can have conversations, share experiences and feel free to be themselves. Creating meaningful spaces does not always require large budgets or major changes. A small garden where butterflies can land, a corner where children can grow vegetables, a quiet outdoor space to pause and regulate, or a welcoming room where people can come together to talk about neurodiversity can all make a difference. We are interested in creating and supporting spaces that nurture connection — with nature, with ourselves and with one another. This includes bringing more nature into schools and residential areas, but also creating opportunities for dialogue around neurodiversity, inclusion, rights and different ways of learning and being. The goal is to empower people, nurture connection and create environments where children and adults can grow, participate and thrive. If you feel that your school, community or organisation needs more opportunities to connect with nature — or simply a space to start a conversation — get in touch. Let’s explore what we could grow together.</image:title>

      <image:title>Spaces - Dulwich Hamlet Junior School - London, UK The Biophilia Project has collaborated with the Dulwich Hamlet Junior School from 2021 to 2024. Explore and Play has been introduced during the school hours in order to offer nature connection as well as child led activity sessions to all the pupils. Heber Primary School - London, UK After the 2020/2021 winter lockdown, Heber Primary School, has allocated outdoor spaces for all the classes to grow plants making sure that children could spend time outdoor as a way to improve their general wellbeing. The Biophila Project has donated a seed library to kick off the project. St Anne’s School, South Gloucestershire The first week of February 2020 during the Children's Mental Health Week, Explore and Play was launched at St Anne’s school, South Gloucestershire, in collaboration with The Movement Foundation. Bessemer Grange Primary School - London, UK</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bessemer Grange Primary School has been home to Explore and Play since 2017 and has welcomed some amazing project on its ground such as a Loose Part Play Area and an Edible Play Garden.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Being</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Biophilia Project was born from a desire to create opportunities to connect — with nature, with ourselves and with one another. Growing Souls is about making space to explore what makes us human: our emotions, feelings, relationships, creativity, curiosity and sense of wonder. It is about slowing down enough to notice what we experience, finding ways to express what we feel, and developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. Nature can be an important part of this exploration. It gives us opportunities to pause, observe, wonder and reconnect with ourselves and with the world around us. But growing our inner lives can happen anywhere — through conversation, play, art, reflection, storytelling or simply being together. We believe that creating opportunities to explore our emotional and human experience can nurture empathy, self-awareness, connection and a sense of belonging. We need to create and support more opportunities for people of all ages to explore these dimensions of being human — with curiosity, openness and without judgement. Because growing is not only about what we learn or what we achieve. It is also about discovering who we are, how we feel, and how we connect with others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Being - The programs are designed to support child led initiatives and child led play. Why is unstructured outdoor play so important?</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Play is a natural built-in process that has served our species for a long time. Through play emerge our educational instincts. The natural environment for learning, the one where learning really thrive, is a space where individuals have the opportunity to have much free time and space in which to play and explore; (b) can mix freely with others of all ages; (c) have access to culturally relevant tools and equipment and are free to play and explore with those items; (d) are free to express and debate any ideas that they wish to express and debate; (e) are free from bullying (which includes freedom from being ordered around arbitrarily by adults); and (f) have a voice that is heard in the group’s decision-making process.” — Peter Gray, Ph.D.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Forest School - Forest School.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Forest School is the name of a specific ethos – a way of working with people in an outdoor natural space for an extended period of time, often a full year. Qualified practitioners carefully facilitate programmes which are uniquely tailored to the needs of the individuals within the group and have the fundamental aim of building participants’ self esteem, confidence, independence and creativity. The name does not refer to an actual place; it refers to the philosophy. Forest School programmes work in a variety of situations and locations (not just schools). Therefore, it is not possible for schools to become ‘a Forest School’, however schools can provide Forest School programmes for their pupils.</image:caption>
