What is Outdoor Education?
For centuries, we have known that when we depart our comfortable and predictable spaces and routines, to dive into any unfamiliarity – however marginal it may be – we emerge from the experience with not just new skills and knowledge, but also, and more importantly, a shift in our personal perceptions and a better understanding of ourselves.
Understanding this basic premise of Experiential Learning and the fact that there is no greater ‘unfamiliarity’ for modern human beings than the non-urban landscape, or the true ‘Outdoors’, noted academicians, educationalist and behavioural experts over the past few decades, have developed an undeniable educational and developmental practice called Outdoor Education.
