OUTDOOR EDUCATIONAUTHENTIC LEARNING IN THE CONTEXT OF LANDSCAPES

Volume 2 An international collaboration project Supported by the European Union Comenius Action 2.1 European In-Service Training Courses This booklet on outdoor education is the second published as a result of an interna- tional project involving educational institutes in five European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom). The project ran from October 1999 to September 2002 and was supported by the European Union through Comenius Action 2.1. One of the objectives was to review national and European perspectives on Outdoor Education and in doing so raise awareness of these perspectives and develop a deeper understanding in a European context. The project has resulted in collaboration between universities, colleges, schools and national associations. One key objective was to prepare for and run an in0service course for teachers and school staff, through which participants could extend their perspectives on Outdoor Education in Europe. This booklet contains details of the theory underpinning these courses and an overall evaluation of the project. This booklet is designed to complement the earlier one volume which provided some basic theory and a description of Outdoor Education in several national settings.
