Military paralympian Nick Beighton joined MPs and outdoor learning specialists at Westminster to discuss how outdoor education helps young people disconnect from daily stresses and build resilience.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Outdoor Learning event was held at Portcullis House, London, on Tuesday 24th March and was a celebration of the achievements made during the last year. It also gave MPs a chance to see how outdoor learning continues to respond to the challenges young people face.
It was hosted by MP Tim Farron, a champion of outdoor learning, and brought together various specialists and organisations in the sector including the Institute for Outdoor Learning which is the group’s secretariat.
