Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel

Sustainable Schools

Outdoor learning is hitting the spotlight once more as a result of a major consultation on sustainable development launched on 15 May.

The Government wants all schools to become models of sustainable development for their communities, and the consultation gives supporters of outdoor learning the chance to help schools understand more about what this involves.

As outdoor educators know, school campuses and other outdoor environments can provide a great context for exploring real-life sustainable development issues.

The consultation will run until 1 September. To find out more, or respond, visit:
