Unlocking the Potential of Outdoor Learning in Concrete Environments – Part 1
Outdoor learning, a term often synonymous with expansive green spaces and forest school activities, has a more profound and diverse history than what meets the eye. It’s a powerful educational tool that can thrive even in concrete inner-city environments. In this series of blogs, we begin by exploring the history of outdoor learning. It will help us understand why people view outdoor learning in a particular light. Blog two will examine why outdoor learning in concrete matters and its benefits. This series’ final blog will share activities and lesson ideas for the concrete environment. In doing so, we hope to equip teachers with a fresh perspective on how outdoor learning can benefit their students in a world where nature is not always readily accessible.
