Outdoor Learning & Place-Based Education

Learning becomes more meaningful when it extends beyond the classroom and connects with the places where we live, explore and experience the world. InterAct's Erasmus+ teacher training courses in outdoor learning and place-based education help educators design engaging learning experiences that use nature, cultural heritage and local communities as powerful educational resources. From environmental education and cultural heritage to geodiversity, ocean literacy, photography and digital storytelling, our practical courses empower teachers to create authentic, interdisciplinary learning that develops curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and active citizenship.
