If you are an advocate of the benefits of outdoor learning you may be interested in attending The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom annual conference. Providing an opportunity to get up to date with all the latest activities and developments from the LOtC sector, the event will include practical and informative workshops, key speakers and networking opportunities. You will have the chance to gain valuable insights, hints and advice, make new contacts and share best practice.
In response to the feedback from the 2015 conference, more time has been allocated to the workshop programme. The workshop programme will offer both practical activities to develop your skills outside the classroom, and more strategic sessions looking at key research and projects happening in the sector. The workshops will also reflect the full breadth of LOtC, including school grounds, farming and countryside, arts and creativity, heritage and adventurous activities.
Speakers at the event are yet to be announced, but they promise to be both inspiring and informative, delivering lectures on personal experiences and advice on how to implement high quality LOtC provision.
Whatever interests or aims you bring to the event will be covered in their comprehensive programme.
The CLOtC Conference 2016 will take place on Thursday 24th November at The Learning Hub at Birmingham Airport. Book before 22nd July to access the earlybird discount rate of only £160 (inc VAT), or £115 (inc VAT) for members of CLOtC, and ensure you don’t miss out on this fun and stimulating day.
