The Democratic Education in Nature consortium convened a cycle of workshops from the 2nd of February to the 23rd of February 2023 called “Democratic Education in Nature: putting quality education in practice”.

The Workshop was held in virtual format. Four sessions, each 3 hours in length, brought together 50 participants live and other 70 who have participated watching the recordings of the sessions. Both live participants and participants that watched the recordings have contributed to the workshops by exchanging doubts, opinions and doing the exercises through the shared platform (Google Drive). A facebook private group was also created to facilitate exchanges after the end of the workshop
