The Outdoor Education Manifesto
Bringing together a range of stakeholders, the Manifesto will:
- set out a joint commitment that all children should have the opportunity of a wide range of high quality outdoor learning, including at least one residential experience;
- encourage schools to partner with other schools and outdoor learning providers;
- encourage parents to take an active interest outdoor learning;
- set out a range of advice and support;
- provide information and good practice guidance on health and safety issues; and
- set out priorities for the development of outdoor learning.
Around thirty partners from across the outdoor learning sector have already been involved in early Manifesto discussions. They will work together to establish a broad range of priorities for helping schools to improve the range and quality of education outside of the classroom.
