Features

Things to note

  • When all learning is carried out from behind a screen or sat at a desk it can be damaging, so outdoor programmes aim to encourage students to get back out into nature. The facilitators talk to students about the importance of the outdoors and encourage them to spend more time even in their own back gardens or local parks during their leisure time. There is a wealth of psychological evidence to demonstrate how wonderfully beneficial this is for mental health.
  • The outdoor education activities provide an alternative way to learn that also helps the next generation develop a strong relationship with nature and concern for the environment, all while keeping fit and healthy. The outdoors is a classroom like no other.
