Paula is a keen gardener of perennial flowers and trees and is currently developing a one acre plot just outside Manchester - with the hope that this could become a forest garden and healing space for learning about permaculture. She is also a Sapere accredited trainer in Philosophy for Children and accredited by Dialogues to deliver A-Z Thinking Moves training in metacognition - if we can think about how we think and how we listen to each other we might learn something!
