\u00a0<\/strong>Through this session we aim to strengthen awareness of our Caring for Our Outdoor Spaces<\/a> practitioner guidance and to share simple and practical methods to embed Learning for Sustainability (LfS) in Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) settings.\u00a0 early years<\/span><\/p>\n

We will hear from practitioners across the sector about how they have been using the guidance within their settings to extend children\u2019s active engagement with the natural world and to reduce the impact on biodiversity as a result of increasing children\u2019s time outdoors. Education Scotland will also contribute, helping to strengthen our understanding of place based outdoor learning and cross-curricular approaches to Learning for Sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In October 2023 we launched \u2018Caring for our Outdoor Spaces<\/a>\u2019, a resource that was been developed by practitioners in response to feedback from the sector. It complements the current \u2018Out to Play\u2019<\/a> series that aims to support ELC and School Age Childcare practitioners to provide high quality outdoor play experiences for children.<\/p>\n

In this latest chapter we focused on supporting practitioners to create safe, nurturing and inspiring outdoor learning experiences which help foster a true love of the outdoors in our young people that stays with them for a lifetime.\u00a0 In so doing, the guidance assists practitioners to embed Learning for Sustainability<\/a> in everyday play and learning which makes an important contribution to the Target 2030 Action Plan<\/a>. Through the guidance we consider ways to reduce the impact on biodiversity as a result of increasing children\u2019s time outdoors when in ELC or school age childcare and we promote children\u2019s exploration of the natural world.<\/p>\n

We hope that practitioners have found this document a useful resource to \u2018dip into\u2019 when outside with children.\u00a0 During the webinar we will shine a light on ways to get the most out of the resource and answer questions from attendees. Please share the information about this webinar widely with colleagues and if you have any feedback then we would welcome your views at outdoorelc@scot.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n
