Position Paper on Outdoor Education

In light of the growing need for a more holistic and practical approach to education, this position paper advocates for the integration of outdoor practices into mainstream curricula. Indeed, the traditional classroom often falls short in providing a quality learning experience for children and youth, that enhances their overall development, well-being, environmental awareness and social skills.

 

Emphasizing the framework of Education in Nature (or nature-based education) and backed by extensive research carried-out in the framework of the DEN project, the document explores historical roots and diverse approaches in order to outline the manifold benefits associated with outdoor education.

The Change We Want: A Manifesto by Rural Young People in Europe

At QUEST, we believe young people don’t need adults to translate what they want to say. Too often, they are tokenised, routinely consulted to check a box, yet shut out from meaningful decision-making on the very issues that shape their lives. They need real space to say it, and real doors opened to the people who can act on it. Giving rural youth the room to define their own demands, in their own words and their own format, and then walking those demands into institutions like the EESC and the Committee of the Regions, is exactly the kind of empowerment we exist to make possible.

Rescuing play: why schools should take it seriously

Too often, for adults, teachers, risk-averse institutions and school systems, play appears as something problematic: risky, unproductive, difficult to manage and almost impossible to measure. The article challenges this view by pointing to the increasingly pernicious marginalisation of play and to the risks this represents for children and for society more broadly.
