\u200bGenerations that are raised in the outdoor are more likely to care for the environment and for our planet. Considering that,\u00a0Outdoor education<\/strong>\u00a0has not only a considerable\u00a0impact<\/strong>\u00a0on the cognitive, behavioural and emotional development of preschoolers, but is especially important for our environment due to the state of climate change. This innovative teaching approach we discussed in our course during the week, offers the possibility to address two of the most important topics of today\u2019s society: providing\u00a0long-lasting high quality education<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0raising awareness on the importance of preserving our planet<\/strong>\u00a0in the face of the daunting threat of climate change.<\/div>\n

\u200bThe\u00a0new edition of the course \u201cOutdoor education for preschool teachers<\/strong>\u201d took place in Palermo from 02\/03\/2025 to 08\/03\/2025. The participants came from all across Europe, with Sari Huczkowski, Helena Lindstr\u00f6m and Susanne Abrahamsson from\u00a0Lule\u00e5 Kommun F\u00f6rskola<\/strong>\u00a0in Sweden, Kristine Engnes and Anne-Marie Borud Vraalsen from\u00a0Lillestr\u00f8m kommune \u2013 Ramstadskogen barnehage<\/strong>\u00a0in Norway and Siv-Lillian H Amundsen and Andrea Rosendal Pettersen from\u00a0Lillestr\u00f8m kommune \u2013 Dalen barnehage <\/strong>\u200bin Norway.<\/div>\n
\u200bFirst of all, we created a definition of Outdoor Education, then, to dive deeper into the topic, we analysed and discussed the benefits of\u00a0Outdoor Education<\/strong>\u00a0and the participants had the chance to share their own experience with teaching in nature. As this course was specifically addressed to preschool teachers, the participants also discovered the Italian education system. Moreover, in order to compare their different approaches, they shared presentations of their own schools.<\/div>\n

\u200bAnother part of the course was focused on discovering a natural environment in a local park and practicing activities there. After testing some games, challenges and activities, our participants started planning their own outdoor activities, adapting them to the needs of their students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u200bFurthermore, the participants also learnt about the importance of\u00a0outdoor space planning<\/strong>\u00a0by discovering selected areas in advance in order to minimize the risks. They identified the most interesting, potentially dangerous, play and rest areas in an outdoor space and created a map out of that knowledge. This hands-on approach allowed them to plan outdoor activities for their pupils in a safer way. By visiting two local outdoor schools,\u00a0Eco Scuola Montessori<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Istituto Minutoli<\/strong>, the participants had the chance to see an efficient example of outdoor learning not only from a practical point of view but also by seeing children interacting between themselves and with nature.<\/div>\n

\u200bFinally, the last part of the course was dedicated to learning and applying\u00a0green skills<\/strong>\u00a0in their classes. After talking about some theory regarding climate change, the participants practiced games that they can use in order to introduce the topic to young children.<\/div>\n
\u200bAfter this week, the participants were bringing home a lot of new tools and activities that they will be able to replicate with their students, showing that learning doesn\u2019t happen only inside a classroom!<\/div>\n
