About this event

The outdoors is a dynamic and creative learning environment where children and young people can thrive and connect their broader learning with the world around them. Research has shown that outdoor learning improves child development and supports health and wellbeing, with the outdoors providing a space that promotes inclusion and engages learners.

In this in person workshop, we will consider how languages feature within an Outdoor Learning agenda. We will explore connections to Learning for Sustainability, discussing how this area can be implemented through an interdisciplinary approach within an outdoor context. Ideal preparation for 30 Days Wild in June.
