Outdoor learning is evolving rapidly in response to global challenges like COVID, climate change, the growing emphasis on EDIAR, geopolitical shifts to the right, emerging technologies, and the growing mental health crises. How do we ensure it continues to meet societal needs while staying grounded in its foundational principles? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore emerging trends, identify the future skills and knowledge outdoor educators will need, and discuss gaps in current pedagogical practices. Whether you are an educator, scholar, policymaker, or practitioner, your voice is essential in shaping the future of outdoor learning. Join this interactive workshop to engage in meaningful dialogue, contribute to impactful research, and leave equipped with new ideas and strategies for navigating the evolving landscape of outdoor learning. Join us to shape the conversation and co-create a vision for the future of outdoor learning. Your voice matters in this collaborative journey!
