Health and Wellbeing Outdoors – effective ways of engaging pupils

This practical hands-on workshop will awaken the senses and provide opportunities to connect with nature. Being outdoors provides real world experiences to promote thinking and problem solving skills. This session will encourage participants to discover ways to improve motor skills and increase levels of physical activity as well as explore creativity and inspiration through easy activities and games. All of which encourage engagement in learning and increased academic achievement. Participants will be able to enhance their skills as a facilitator and understand the role of adults in the outdoor environment. The outdoors is a place to nurture ourselves and those around us. It helps to reduce stress and fatigue which in turn improves our health and wellbeing. The session will be outside in Bute Park, exploring the green heart of the city. Please bring outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes/wellies to wear.
