# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Outdoor Learning and the Curriculum: A Professional Development workshop for Educators
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: This practical workshop demonstrates how the Australian Curriculum cross-curriculum priority area of Sustainability can be addressed while taking learning outdoors. The content draws on place-responsive pedagogies and nature connection practices which connect students to place and foster a care of the natural world.

Workshop participants will:

*Learn about the benefits of outdoor learning and how outdoor activities can be applied to learning areas including Science, English, Humanities and Social Sciences and the Arts.

*Experience a range of activities and tools that foster connection to place and grow children's ecological literacy. Activities include 'sit spots', ‘the web of life’; nature journaling; the 'Council of all Beings' and more.

*Reflect with other participants on the activities experienced and consider ways to adapt or extend them for different groups of students or for different learning areas.

*Be introduced to 'nature names' - a practice that can be woven through units of work to support students to learn about the plants and animals in local ecosystems and their relationships with each other.

*Receive access to a resource pack, activity descriptions with links to the Australian curriculum and a certificate for 6 hours of professional development.

The approaches and activities introduced in this workshop support students to increase critical and creative thinking and have the knowledge, understanding and skills to engage in creating a more sustainable world. Outdoor learning using these experience-based strategies also supports children’s emotional well-being and physical health.

While the workshop is focused on primary school teachers, the learnings are also applicable to teachers and educators who work with other students as well as homeschooling parents. The content relates particularly to sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, and 3.3 of the Australian professional standards for teachers.
