Daniel on We Belong Education Podcast

Recently, our co-founder and CEO Daniel Burton joined Dr Saurubh Malviya and Helen Pentecost on the We Belong Education Podcast!

In this episode, Daniel shares the story of Educated by Nature and its mission to connect children, teens, families, and educators with the natural world. The conversation dives into nature pedagogy, the importance of play and rest, and how the outdoors can act as a “third teacher” for learning and wellbeing.

Together they explore the role of energy, empathy, and awareness in education, and why creating space for teenagers to play and belong is just as vital as supporting younger children. Daniel also reflects on how unstructured time in nature fosters resilience, imagination, and community connection.

This inspiring conversation will leave you reflecting on your own relationship with nature and the way we show up for children and young people.

You can find the episode on Youtube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
