During Dinacon 2022, Alex Hornstein and Jasmine Gutbrod ran Wild Lives, classes on finding, understanding and telling stories about the wild animals that live right outside the door. Two of our volunteers, Sayu Ambiharathinam and Gabi Mohanalingam, taught with them.

There were two classes, one for adults from DreamSpace and one for children, each meeting for about an hour a day for six days. A three-day version for Dinacon participants tried out how teachers could run such classes with their own students.

The last two photographs are from the Dinacon 2022 website.
