Furness Outdoor Learning is dedicated to fostering a deep bond between individuals and the natural world, placing a special emphasis on nurturing the holistic growth of young people. Rooted in progressive pedagogies such as Forest School, Experiential Education, and Nature Connection, our principal objective is to provide outdoor learning experiences that transform and transcend the limitations of conventional education.
Our meticulously crafted programs are tailored to immerse participants in genuine, hands-on activities, fostering active engagement, reflective thinking, and the practical application of knowledge. Through this, we aim to foster personal development, independence, and resilience in our students.
In our educational approach, we recognize that Nature, landscape, and place are fundamental contributors to the co-construction of learning experiences. These elements not only enrich the educational experience but also play a pivotal role in supporting well-being through the development of a strong personal relationship with nature.
At Furness Outdoor Learning, we firmly believe that the integration of these progressive approaches and pedagogies creates an enriching learning environment. Here, young people can discover more about themselves, understand others better, and gain skills that will support them as they journey through life.
