This example uses the Stock and Flow tool within a Forest School setting - providing students with a visual and kinaesthetic representation of the need for and value of Trust in a high-risk environment.
It uses the idea of trust as the fundamental unit of currency in this relationship between practitioner and participants and within the group of participants themselves . The Stock and Flow has proven to be highly effective in articulating this correspondence. It fits in well with the iterative cycle of learning that naturally occurs in the Forest School environment, becoming a real boon in supporting development of reflective thought processes, risk management and the lateral skills required for scientific inquiry.
