You can tell when people are recalling fond memories of their favourite outdoor experiences.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to the Taking Learning Outdoors session on 15 September at Eastwood Park.  It was a fantastic day with colleagues across the sectors sharing ideas and practice.  A special thank you goes to Lorraine, Neil and Britt for leading the sessions with such enthusiasm and they are looking forward to sharing further at the twilight practitioner forums which you can find on the Gateway CPD site. fullsizerender1
