Participants will be equipped with a toolkit of activities and techniques for bringing children outside, (especially in a school ground context), and teaching about biodiversity and the natural environment. Participants will gain ideas for integrating the visual arts with science, history, literacy and environmental education to promote theme-based learning through creative art activities.  

The course will involve active learning methodologies throughout the week with opportunities for both classroom-based activities and outdoor experiential learning in the local area through field trips.
