Research: Quality  outdoor learning

High Quality Outdoor Learning for Wales builds on the original High Quality Outdoor Learning document created by OEAP and the English Outdoor Council, setting the document in a Wales specific context; dovetailing Outdoor Learning best practice with Welsh Government legislation and the new Curriculum for Wales. 

This handbook provides practitioners with advice and guidance on making the most of using the outdoor environment for effective learning. It  was produced in 2009 to accompany the introduction of the Foundation Phase in Wales by the Curriculum and Assessment Division, Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills of the Welsh Assembly Government

The objective of the Natural Connections project was to establish and embed ‘Learning Outside the classroom in the Natural Environment’ (LINE) by brokering relationships between schools, support organisations and volunteers. The final report details key findings relating to the impact of LINE on teachers and pupils as well as how the project was implemented, delivered and managed.
