On Monday 5th December 2022 we hosted a great conversation led by Bryn Evans, Head of Outdoor Education at St John’s College in Cardiff. The session aimed to improve knowledge and confidence to teach ‘adventure activities’ in your school.
Here is a copy of the slides shared:
It is also well worth looking at the resources available via British Orienteering, to include this downloadable pack of activity ideas. Here are a selection of other links referred to in the session:
- BBC Report on the impact of OAA Residentials
- App for recording Mountain Walks for NEA footage
- Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC)
- Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel (OEAP) for National Guidance, Advice and Resources
- Health and safety on off-site educational visits
