▶Objectives
- Increase the use of outdoor education in urban green and blue spaces for the benefit of teachers, pupils and the environment. - To provide knowledge on how to make urban outdoor education maps. - To equip teachers with the skills and confidence to manage groups in outdoor environments. - To ensure that outdoor education follows a safety protocol.
▶Activities
The following activities have been developed in the project: 1. Outdoor Education Guide Work Party. A mobility activity was carried out in Zaragoza. 2. Green City Maps Work Party. A mobility activity was carried out in Dublin. 3. Lesson Materials Work Party. A mobility activity was carried out in Denizli/Acipayam.
▶Impact
The main result has been an Outdoor Education Guide that can be downloaded from the project website (https://www.hugserasmus.eu/outdoor-education-guide/) in all partner languages (English, Spanish, and Turkish). In the green space mapping workshop the participants learned what are the best features of a green space map for educational purposes, to produce their maps in their cities. The teachers who participated in the working group on didactic resources got to know the Guide produced, as well as didactic materials (designed in English as it is the common working language of the partners) to be used by the teachers who attended the mobility in Turkey when they organize outdoor educational activities in their countries (https://www.hugserasmus.eu/lesson-materials-work-party/). Moreover, participants and partner organizations have improved their skills and competencies in outdoor education through their participation in the activities developed in the project. Networks with other organizations have also been created to facilitate the realization of different activities and projects related to outdoor education.
