A big thank you to the schools, nurseries & drama artists who’ve shared our Out to Play journey with us – here’s to arts-based outdoor learning, today and every day 🌱💚🧵

The project has embraced & developed a distinct focus within the UK’s outdoor learning landscape, by centring its approach on drama & storytelling. These creative tools engage learners emotionally, fostering a deep, memorable connection to their outdoor learning & play that leaves a lasting impact 🧵

Stories teach us how to notice & appreciate nature where we are, and by shifting from the reality of “What Is” to the creativity of “What If,” children can imagine forests or act as animals without needing green space or special gear - #OutToPlay was born! 🧵

In 2014, as part of her research into childhood & the environment, Eco Drama’s artistic director Emily considered how drama & storytelling might support children to connect with nature, in all-concrete school playgrounds 🧵
