Outdoor Learning: Joint Theme Leads: Associate Professor Jamie Mcphie and Jen Ager
Outdoor learning involves facilitated experiences in the outdoors normally in formal and non-formal education. It includes outdoor and environmental education, adventure, recreation, and physical activity for a range of outcomes such as health and wellbeing, personal, social and intellectual development, and enhanced relationships with varied environments and places. Outdoor learning is important on a global scale to build positive values and a sustainable future, particularly for children and young people.
