Developing Wellbeing and resilience

We currently have no scheduled dates for our next Teacher Taster courses. Please register your interest below and we'll let you know when our new dates and venues have been released.

This is for head and deputy head teachers, educational professionals, apprenticeship providers, and employers who would like to learn first-hand:

  • How outdoor learning can build resilience, confidence and self-belief in young people
  • How other schools, employers and experts are using the outdoors to amplify learning
  • How an Outward Bound residential specifically uses the wilderness to develop the skills needed to thrive in school, at work and in life.
