The Erasmus+ project ‘New Education Forum +’ (2021-2023) creates a multilingual platform for a European network around Outdoor Learning (OL) in VET, with an emphasis on how digital learning tools can enhance (outdoor) learning processes. Results include two thematic literature reviews and an online repository of resources that also features good practices in OL for VET from different European countries. All outputs are open access and aim to provide professional development and networking opportunities for practitioners and other stakeholders interested in harnessing the benefits of OL in VET contexts for the development of transversal competencies, physical and mental health and wellbeing, and environmental sustainability.
The NEF+ project is currently developing guidelines for the implementation of Outdoor Learning, covering academic, political and practical areas. The preparation of the guidelines is coordinated by the Government of Cantabria through the Regional Ministry of Economy and Finance.
The guidelines are in line with one of the priorities of the NEF+ project, which is co-financed by the Erasmus+ programme of the UE.
