EDUCATION IN THE UK
In the UK, our Education Programme aims to reach children and young people both in schools and out, instilling a love of wildlife and helping to encourage personal, local action to help protect wild animals and their habitats around the world
BORN FREE WORKSHOPS AND TALKS
If you would like Born Free to hold a workshop or assembly at your school, community group, event or club (either in person or remotely via video link) please get in touch. In addition, you can request a university guest speaker for your course or society. All of our educational workshops and talks are free of charge, but we may sometimes need to ask you to cover travel expenses if we are coming to speak in person. We welcome any fundraising you are able to carry out to help support our work.
