💡At a time when people are spending less and less time outdoors, the subject of getting children outside couldn’t be any more relevant.

👉During the presentation, I tried to give an honest journey of a class teacher trying to do their best to overcome challenges, develop myself, and create outdoor learning experiences that are engaging, meaningful and are adaptive to even the most basis outdoor spaces with little resources needed.

Key points

Do you need lots of resources?

No

Do you need a forest?

No

Is taking small steps valid?

Yes

Will taking children outdoors help regulate a class?

100 percent


After the presentation, I had two key personal reflections:

🌱 Little steps and small achievements can really snowball over time.

🌱 A realisation that I have gone from the one trying things out, making mistakes, reading so many academic studies, and figuring it out into a person who is afforded a platform to share their knowledge and experience with others.

Amazing, right?



👉What a privilege it is to share your voice, and thanks to all those who came today.
