Education is an important tool for change and shaping the future of our planet. The methods to facilitate learning therefore should be treated with utmost care to nurture the next generation of decision makers. Our natural world is currently under threat with growing environmental issues such as climate change, habitat loss and pollution. Early childhood education plays a vital role in the development of values and skills. This means this age group is ideal to instil care for nature and environmentally-responsible values. Young children also require a different approach to learning which is exploratory, sensory and interactive and an outdoor space with nature around provides a great setting for this. To achieve this approach, we also need to inspire and build the confidence of teachers to do outdoor and nature-based learning activities. We have to keep in mind that not all schools have access to nature or outdoor areas and we need to give them ideas on how to make best use of what they have and how to improve their school grounds. Teachers also need more support, resources and confidence to learn about nature and use nature and the outdoor spaces available whilst making sure they also follow the curriculum requirements. Therefore, with Teach, Inspire and Protect (TIP) we focused on new methods of integrating cross-curricular outdoor and nature-based learning to benefit to the whole school community and broader the sustainability agenda. Therefore, TIP built a platform for teachers and also parents to inspire and learn about nature using digital resources, and also find activities, ideas and best tools for outdoor and nature-based experiential learning. Our combination of partners from schools, NGO's, academic and government bodies enabled us a thorough examination of best practice teaching methods and ensured our approach is sustainable and realistic for the current educational systems in different countries. During TIP we engaged the following audiences:-Educators in early years and primary sector-School management-Experts or practitioners in environmental education-Parents-Organisations’ networks-Policy makers -Academia -General public-And most importantly children!The results achieved in the project: -Interactive modules to learn about nature in a fun way and help teachers to tackle nature with their students-An accredited course with the Institute for Education in Outdoor Learning through Nature-A certified course in High quality spaces for outdoor learning and play in the Early Years-Activities and resources for parents and Early years educators -A series of videos about nature -A detailed methodological approach on contemporary teaching approaches implemented now in schools-Research and survey on outdoor teaching-Guidelines for teacher training outdoors-Mapping the school grounds-Evidence for education and environmental policies. The overall impact on participants and organisations involved: -Increased knowledge of new and innovative methods and practices in teaching outdoors-Experience and connect with local environment and the wildlife that lives there. -Learn about and be able to deliver sensory and values-based connection with nature activities-Positive attitudes and personal commitment to environmental protection -Strengthening professional development, profile and opportunities for participating teachers-Increased motivation and rewarding educational experiences with their students-Fostering critical thinking and problem-solving approaches which will allow teachers to overcome challenges in a productive and positive way-Development of high-quality skills and competences in outdoor and nature-based learning in early years-Instil love and care for nature in the young generation-Involve parents in the process of change and experiential learning in nature with their children-Enhancement of knowledge, competences and skills regarding implementation of European projects -Increase of the exchange of good practices and cooperation with other educational organisations. Using our networks in the partnership and existing platforms, we can amplify the impact of our project on the long term on a European and global scale. The resources were shared through the partners existing networks such as:-International School Grounds Alliance, a global network of educational organisations dedicated to enhancing outdoor learning in school grounds-BirdLife International network which consists of 120 partners globally.TIP is aiming to instil in children a lifelong care for nature which will ultimately impact the decisions those children make in protecting the environment and their contributions as future adults and active citizens. Change starts with one small step, when this change is amplified on a global scale we can make a difference in future of the planet.
