It's always good to spend endless time on Last Great Western<\/em> (which I must now refer to as GWR, it seems; what a travesty!) and pootle slowly down to Plymouth (via Dawlish) to see a real sustainable university in action. \u00a0I'm going to an event organised by the\u00a0Outdoor & Experiential Learning Research Network & the\u00a0Natural Connections Demonstration Project<\/em>. \u00a0It's a catchy title and the event is billed as a\u00a0\u2018Key findings\u2019 conference, but we'll see. \u00a0These folk have form.<\/p>\n

The meeting blurb says:<\/p>\n

The Natural Connections Demonstration Project has been running for three years. \u00a0It is one of the largest outdoor learning projects in the UK, working with 130 primary and secondary schools across the South West of England. \u00a0Evaluation of how outdoor learning can be embedded into school life, as well as its impact on pupils, teachers and the school ethos, has been a major part of the project. \u00a0We want to share our initial findings with you. \u00a0This will also be an opportunity to hear from some of the schools involved, to network and to discuss how the learning from Natural Connections can be transferred to other settings and locations.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are, of course, inputs ...<\/p>\n
