We warmly invite researchers, educators and fellow wanderers to join us for the first Wild Pedagogies Gathering in the Netherlands.
Over several days, we will create space to wander with the more-than-human world, gather around the fire, exchange ideas, share practices, spark new collaborations, and imagine wilder futures together.
The gathering coincides with a special milestone: on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, Reineke van Tol (Wageningen University & Research, the Netherlands) will defend what is believed to be the first PhD dissertation dedicated entirely to Wild Pedagogies. We hope many of you will join us in celebrating this moment, but above all we hope it offers a meaningful opportunity for our growing international community to connect, learn from one another, and continue shaping the future of Wild Pedagogies together.
The gathering will take place at The Paradise, a beautiful campsite nestled in nature, offering the perfect setting for shared inquiry, outdoor learning, campfire conversations, and encounters with the more-than-human world.
