Connecting people to the natural world through wellbeing, education & creative arts...

WELLBEING – At Haus of Conservation we believe when we consider our own wellbeing, we should take in to account the wellbeing of all life on earth and the earth itself, because without it our own wellbeing cannot exist. We deliver events, classes and workshops that focus on wellbeing and holistic practices that improve each participants wellness in a fun and relaxed environment, with the aim of inspiring the participant to connect with the natural world.



CREATIVE ARTS – At Haus of Conservation we use creative arts to entertain, educate and create change. Creative arts allow the audience or participant to engage, embody and experience the subject in ways they wouldn’t normally be able to access, which in turn creates: empathy, builds confidence, social skills, and a better knowledge of the subject from the inside out. We use creative arts in many ways from our theatrical shows which are not only a great night out, but they are also educational and often raise much needed funds for conservation causes. We also deliver workshops through dance, movement, script work, improvisation, voice work, art, music, and self-expression.



EDUCATION – At Haus of Conservation we understand education is the key to creating long term change as education creates awareness. We use different mediums to allow each person who engages with one of our events to resonate with the subject differently and we create a safe space in which they can explore in. We focus on the education of: wellbeing and nature, nature connectedness, kindness, speciesism, the importance of veganism, the natural world and its conservation issues. We create education which is factual and takes in to account "ALL LIFE" on earth and present that knowledge with solutions through: educational talks, storytelling, creative arts, wellness, and holistic approaches. We work with all age ranges and abilities.

The Roof of Africa School

The Roof of Africa is a Scottish registered charity that provides free education and family support to those living in poverty in Tanzania. Specifically the charity runs The Roof of Africa School in Sonu, a small rural village, set against the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. The charity began building the School in 2017 and currently teaches over 100 children across five classes ranging from nursery to Primary 4. Expansion plans are also in hand, bringing the total to 9 classes. The classes are smaller in size than government schools to enable the highest quality teaching for every student. Teaching is delivered in English, but for many pupils this is their second or even third language. In East Africa, high schools teach in English so learning from a young age can be very beneficial. Day-to-day, students are taught English, Maths and Kiswahli. Though, the children also enjoy sports, arts and singing. They love showing off paintings that they have created and welcoming visitors - usually with handmade instruments and rhymes that they have learnt! Surrounding the school are luscious green gardens, where fruit and vegetables are grown to supplement the two free meals that the students receive each day. They are nourished and looked after by the school community. Haus of Conservation is working with the Roof of Africa School by donating regular funds that supports the fruit tree and vegetable gardens to help the school become fully plant-based. The aim of The Roof of Africa School becoming fully plant-based will help educate the children to create better "wellbeing for all life", this is the message that Haus of Conservation aims to spread around the world, to create a more compassionate and stable future for all life.
