Here are some of the more significant steps and events that have contributed to the development of Nose to Nose as a team. Our commitment to nurturing a spirit of learning and research around play, humour and clowning has enabled us to bring the social and personal insights of this work into new areas and disciplines such as teaching, personal development, ecology, conflict resolution and social action.
In 2006, this commitment continues with the start of a two-year facilitator’s training and with the publication ofarticles and interviews that aim to inspire, and ground our learning firmly in practice.
