FREE TASTER COURSE: DEVELOPING WELLBEING AND RESILIENCE

Sign up and join us at one of our free taster courses:

• 1-2 March 2024 at Loch Eil, Scottish Highlands

Find out for yourself how the power of learning in the wilderness can support wellbeing and develop resilience in young people.

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.

Good for your wellbeing too.

All food, equipment and accommodation provided free of charge.
