Dr Harris is an experienced and professional educator and has worked as a tutor for Open Studies at the University of Warwick. We all cherish our rich and varied heritage and quirky customs – these talks all act as catalysts for families and organisations to discover the wealth and variety of our local area.
The Solihull Green Man Trail provides a unique opportunity to find and discover more Green Men in our area – this partnership between local schools, the Park Rangers and the speaker is to be cascaded into the Forest of Arden Project and other woodland schemes. All talks can be tailored to meet your groups needs into a 1 hour talk since they are all part of 6 hour interactive workshops. The PowerPoint presentations are of high quality and all equipment is supplied EXCEPT for a LARGE white screen. Prizes are given for certain challenges!!! The speaker is prepared to travel up to 50 miles radius from Birmingham.
Fee shared between the charities Beating Bowl Cancer, Help for Heroes and Cancer Research UK.
