Azra has also worked in inner city Adventure Playgrounds, a movement at the forefront of child led, risky play, and has experience supporting families in early years learning at Children's Centres where she established Forest School sessions for families. She was part of a team that set up a flagship Natural Thinkers setting and has been active in several community initiatives. 





JO BADEN-MORGANJO BADEN-MORGAN - ASSISTANT TRAINER

After working as a teaching assistant, Jo volunteered at her local farm, and after attending a Forest School taster session was inspired to find a way to work with young people outdoors. Jo started her Forest School Leader training with The Hive in April 2020, and qualified in 2021. She's passionate about offering Forest School for all and has an interest in working with older children. Alongside her Hive role, Jo leads a Forest School group for home educated children and incorporates nature based crafts and ways to connect with nature with young family groups. She also leads Forest School sessions for young farmers and summer adult sessions at her local farm. Jo is keen to develop ways to incorporate Forest School and its ethos into secondary schools and to help support children with special educational needs.
