Outdoor learning conference: Places and spaces

This event will provide you with ideas and tools for making the most of outdoor learning places and spaces on your doorstep and within your area.

Our keynote speaker, Mary Jackson, will share her wealth of experience on how schools can make the most of available spaces to enrich children’s learning.

Complimented by a range of workshop leaders, the conference will provide delegates with advice and practical strategies on how schools can both make the most of landscapes close to school and wider afield and help link these spaces to your school curriculum.
