Do you want your children and young people to grow up with a strong connection to the natural world?
We at The Rewild Project want to inspire this next generation
to STAY connected or RE-connect
with the natural world through:
Our Camps & Holiday Club sessions teach these skills which build the
brain connections essential for positive mental health and CRITICAL THINKING.
All the skills needed for becoming life long, engaged learners & free thinkers.
Knowing that they are a vital part of the ecosystem, and how to interact with nature.
It is this very connection that is being pushed out of mainstream, conventional settings,
to make room for more and more testing on narrower and narrower set curriculums,
with teachers having less and less time to spend on care,
compassion, and protecting the resilience and mental health of our young people
And as the developed world is changing so fast:
digitalisation,
AI technologies,
smart phones
tablets
are all already well integrated into most children’s daily lives!
Here at The Rewild Project we believe that education needs to be RE-imagined.
Connecting our kids to nature, to the soil and to their heritage through learning traditional crafts
growing & cooking food, playing games, singing….
THIS SHOULD COME FIRST
It all helps them to grow, develop and learn who they are
WITHOUT
The pressure of being tested, or driven by results…

Rekindle Youth is a project administered by The Rewild Project (rewilding people, not just landscapes) we are developing a qualification in Heritage Crafts and Land Based Skills (CALS).
The OCN Qualification in ‘Skills for Work and Life’ can be achieved by those who turn 14 by the end of the course.
Those under 14 will receive a laminated ‘Rewild Project Certificate of Achievement’
We are initially working to the ‘AWARD’ which is 6 credits / 60 hours contact time delivered over 18 weeks.
The same hours / credits applies for entry levels 1,2 & 3 and Level 1 / Level 2 allowing us to deliver to a range of students working at different levels concurrently.
The units we have chosen for the pilot / introduction are:
Each of these units are 3 credits and students can choose 2. There is lots of scope to add extra units if they choose to continue to complete a whole year and gain the ‘CERTIFICATE' which is 15 credits / 120 guided learning hours and could see them adding specialist subjects at 3 units each such as:
Any students going on to a second year, taking a combination of these modules would extend their qualification to the ‘DIPLOMA’ at 37 Units / 296 Contact hours.
Our long term goal is to develop this into apprenticeship scheme using Lottery Heritage Grant.

We. know that the home education community has a higher than average number of special education needs. We have been working in this field for many years, and have experience as parents and educators. Of course every child is unique, and by treating the young people we work with, with respect, listening to their needs and helping them to build trust and feel comfortable in the space, with our non competitive, collaborative approach most young people find their place quickly. Do contact us if you want to discuss anything in more detail.
We would love for your young person to join and thrive with this unique opportunity. You can book a taster session below. Places are strictly limited. Max group size 12, with 2 members of staff plus craftspeople.
