'Everything I did outdoors was almost entirely new to me. It broadened my horizons and allowed me to experience pleasures I had never experienced before. The combination of academia and practice made me feel that everything I was doing was reasonable and well-founded.'
Reshna Alex
'The programme was more than technical skills, focusing on the foundations of what it means to be an educator. We experience, reflect and learn as individuals and as a group. The programme team is supportive and encourages you to explore as much as you can during this process.'
Andy Macbeth
'Using the outdoors as a teaching and learning environment while promoting sustainable thinking and practice has never been more important and this course has given me the skills and confidence to feel that my practice in this area will help make a positive difference.'
Charlotte Megret
'The combination of academic courses and practical courses (especially residential ones) created plenty of opportunities to observe and reflect on different teaching practices. The courses were all very different, and I thoroughly enjoyed that diversity as I believed they helped me reflect and improve my own practice.'
