Let's take learning outdoors. Creative Outdoor Learning is a practical course providing ideas, activities and approaches. It aims to support any member of staff wishing to develop an outdoor ethos or approach in their setting or school.

It is through creativity, cognitive challenge and practical application that learning skills are developed. We look at how to make the most of the outdoor environment.

• Explore how to inspire your pupils to find learning opportunities everywhere.
• Understand the philosophy, research and principles surrounding outdoor learning.
• Experience practical activities and knowledge of how and where to acquire resources on a minimal budget.
• Reflect on and create plans for moving forward in your own setting/school.
