Led by experienced members of Eden’s Schools Team, we deliver thought provoking and inspiring sessions that will demonstrate how your school grounds are brimming with potential for outdoor learning. Come to us at the Eden Project with your team, or we can come to your school, or deliver online. Choose one of our suggested themes:
- An introduction to learning outside
- The Primary Curriculum Outdoors
- Outside-in: using the outdoors to support children’s wellbeing
...or we can create a bespoke session just for you.
Our methods are playful, linking closely to the curriculum to achieve an enquiry-based and challenge-led approach to the core subjects. Our in-person training balances time spent outdoors sharing practical ideas with a strong theoretical foundation based upon current research.
Our aim is to leave you with pockets full of ideas and ‘ready to go’ activities, and with new confidence for planning your own curriculum linked sessions and events. Get a flavour of our approach.
What you'll get out of it
