Description

The course is actively learning and very useful for practice tools, methods, and approaches. It presents learning in general outside the classroom, learning about nature and everything outside of school and learning the learning material outside the traditional place. It also considers the possibility of linking outdoor learning to the Kneipp system.

The nature of this course is extremely focused on practical resources for practice, with active participation and dynamic activities in which we will conduct exercises designed to facilitate the assimilation and analysis of the proposed methodology. A study session in the museum and the library is also planned.

 

Learning objectives

Participants will learn how to involve students in useful and stimulating learning activities in which nature and environmental education are linked to real life in a broader sense. Through the proposed content they can explore and experience the relationship between subjects and real life through outdoor activities, as well as have more chances for interdisciplinary dialogue, inquiry and problem solving.

Methodology & assessment

This course is thematic and interdisciplinary and will use both theoretical and practical sessions. It focuses on creative activities, innovative teaching and learning methods for students aged 3-11. We use a “learning by doing” approach. Participants will make their own outdoor learning projects, will be involved in creative tasks on the topic. Following combined teaching methods, they will see that outdoor learning and teaching can be applied in everyday work.
