Summary
The great outdoors is one of the richest classrooms we have — full of wonder, imagination, and discovery. This energizing session 
encourages educators to step outside (literally!) and rediscover the value of nature play. 
We’ll explore how outdoor experiences nurture problem-solving, creativity, and confidence, and how to bring the spirit of nature indoors when outdoor space is limited. You’ll leave with hands-on ideas, outdoor education strategies, and a renewed appreciation for the endless possibilities nature provides.

Key Learnings: 
1.Explain the role of play-based, outdoor, and risky play in  supporting holistic child development.
2.Apply STEAM concepts through hands-on, developmentally appropriate learning experiences
3.Strengthen relationships and engagement through 
responsive, child-centred practices.
4.Design learning environments that promote curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills.
