Campaign for Real World Learning
The campaign is a partnership between the Field Studies Council, RSPB, National Trust, PGL, the Wildlife Trusts and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust. Although a number of the partners are from the environmental sector the Campaign objectives includes the promotion of Heritage and Arts education, Outdoor and Adventurous activity as well as first hand sustainability and development issues. The campaign partners and supporters recognize that many schools are reporting barriers to out-of-classroom learning:
- Lack of time through the perception of a crowded and prioritised curriculum
- Fear of accidents and subsequent litigation
- Cost – staff cover, insurance, transport etc
- Low status of out-of-classroom training and teaching
- Senior managements’ negative view of what is often seen as a ‘disruptive’ activity.
