Reimagining these outdoor spaces offers a practical, achievable, low-cost and scalable opportunity to generate meaningful sustainable benefits for children, nature, and our shared future. Exceptional outdoor spaces for play, recreation, and learning don't just benefit students, they drive societal change in biodiversity, wellbeing, and inclusion. Join leading policymakers, researchers, and hands-on practitioners for an interactive look at the future of external school spaces. We will dive into the real-world challenges and opportunities in sustainability. Come ready to share your voice and shape the future of learning landscapes.
