The Outdoor Learning in the National Parks project’s second annual conference is shaping up and will also offer additional events and activities around the conference day.
Friday 28th October 2011 sees Glenmore Lodge in the magnificent ancient Caledonian pine forest in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park play host to the conference, which will focus on outdoor workshops showing a wealth of innovative and exciting approaches to outdoor learning. The workshops will provide a mix of partner-led and practitioner-led experiences highlighting the benefits, applications and fun of outdoor learning as it supports all curricular areas.
More information and invitations will come through the seven partner local authorities, and there are opportunities to also undertake one or more CPD courses or to be involved in the Joint National Parks Media Project’s Film Premiere night also on the 28th October. These opportunities are open to staff in the seven partner local authorities and those involved with the Project.
