Lifeworlds Learning specialise in the design and delivery of bespoke workshops to support learning in the classroom and continuing professional development (CPD) in a broad range of areas.
We are committed to 'learning through doing' and so favour action-based experiential workshops that engage participants and provide them with the time and space to explore issues relevant to their own context.
We also offer workshop programmes to deal with particular issues, agendas or initiatives and publish details of forthcoming workshops on these pages as they become available.

It is best suited to KS2, but there are some new KS1 activities in development so get in touch to find out more.
World Beneath Our Feet
The World Beneath Our Feet (WBOF) workshops use our giant maps to engage learners in a range of topics and issues. We are developing new WBOF offers regularly and will list those here as they are released. Each workshop comes fully resourced and is led by one of our own expert practitioners. Teachers will be given ideas of how to extend and build on the workshop and left with a briefing to guide them to appropriate resources. WBOF has been extremely popular where it has been offered and sells out quickly so if you are interested in this please book well ahead to avoid dissapointment.
We are currently offering WBOF in the following options:
A Fairtrade World - exploring trade and issues of trade justice. (uses World map)
What makes us British? - looking at identity and diversity within the UK and the local area. (uses UK map)
A world of energy - looks at different forms and sources of energy with links to sustainability (World and UK maps)
