In this episode I sit down with my husband Barney Clarke, a passionate outdoor educator, to dive deep into the transformative power of outdoor education.
Barney's journey into the world of outdoor education is a testament to the profound impact nature can have on our lives. From his humble beginnings to his current role as an advocate for outdoor learning, Barney shares his personal story of how his love for nature paved the way for his career.
We unravel the myriad benefits of outdoor education, from fostering resilience and confidence in children to nurturing their mental well-being. Barney talks about the challenges facing this vital field, from funding woes to behaviour management in the great outdoors.
Throughout the conversation, Barney emphasises the value of hands-on experiences and the importance of instilling a love of nature in the next generation. From teaching respect for the planet to promoting healthy minds and bodies, outdoor education is a powerful tool for empowering children and shaping future stewards of the Earth.
So, grab your hiking boots and join us as we journey into the heart of outdoor education with Barney Clarke. Get ready to be inspired, enlightened, and reminded of the boundless wonders that await us in the great outdoors.
