Outdoor Learning Policy, Advocacy and Lobbying in Wales

This article sets out to give you a brief introduction to the journey towards statutory outdoor education provision in Wales. It will also look at the associated challenges faced by researchers, practitioners and even policy makers in achieving meaningful change in the provision of outdoor learning experiences for the children and young
people of Wales. It outlines two building blocks that contribute to this process of change, one of which is concerned with curriculum opportunities, whilst the other looks to bring legislative change through a member’s bill in the Welsh Parliament (Senedd Cymru).
