Conference Club with Daniel Burton

To kick start our series off we are delighted to have Daniel Burton, CEO & Co-founder of Educated by Nature join us in our new online Play Australia Members clubhouse to tell us about his recent PD experience in Colorado, USA!

Daniel was one of 500 delegates at the 2023 Inside-Out International Conference, hosted by The Children and Nature Network Colorado. The conference brought together leaders from a broad range of disciplines, all committed to the health and well-being of children and communities. Daniel joined delegates from around the glove to explore best practices for creating inclusive and equitable outdoor experiences — and proven strategies for turning our indoor society back out to the benefits of nature.

About Daniel

Daniel is the co-founder of Educated by Nature (established 2014), a qualified primary school teacher, an education consultant and passionate nature connection mentor. He considers himself an advocate for connecting children with the natural world, following children’s inbuilt sense of wonder and curiosity as the vehicle to inspire the process of inquiry-based learning. Daniel has had the privilege of participating in and presenting at conferences focused on nature-based education and 21st century teaching philosophies, both locally and internationally. He is now mentoring other educators to develop programs which follow children’s passion for play and the outdoors.

About the Children & Nature Network

Co-founder Richard Louv published his ground-breaking book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. He reported that in just a few decades, childhood had moved indoors, disconnected from the natural world. Louv called for a New Nature Movement, one that recognised the interconnection of all life on earth, including plants, humans, and other animals. From this call to action, the Children & Nature Network was born.
