Abstract

Place-based learning develops skills, knowledge and understanding of local as well as global environmental and sustainability issues.  This new curriculum integrates outdoor, environmental and experiential learning into a mandatory ‘national’ curriculum, which has presented challenges for some teachers and educators. This presentation will describe and evaluate the ways in which this curriculum is supporting children and young people to become active citizens in their communities for a sustainable future, and to increase their wellbeing and lifelong opportunities. It will outline the multi-partnership approach including knowledge exchange projects with the University of Cumbria and ‘powerful projects’ with teachers and trainee teachers to enhance and augment engagement and confidence in teaching and learning outdoors. It will also illustrate how a theory of change model has been created and how the level of success might be evaluated through an impact and evaluation framework.
