The Green School Experience.

Join us on a journey of all things Green School. The Green School Experience is a platform where we hope to share stories about themes and people, both inside and outside the Green School community. People from a range of backgrounds who are mission-aligned, whether that be through a community-focused approach, sustainability-focused, entrepreneurial, economic, social – the aim of this podcast is to inform and inspire, while also giving you a taste of what Green School is about. We hope you enjoy it, and if you would like to see us talk about something in particular, please feel free to email hannah@favourthebrave.nz with your suggestion.
