Outdoor Adventure Education through Physical Education (OutAdvEd)

The project ‘Outdoor Adventure Education through Physical Education’ (OutAdvEd) attempts to connect Outdoor-Adventure Education (OAE) and Teacher Education (TED) (initial, induction and continuous professional development), with a special focus on the promotion of Youth Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) within Physical Education (PE). The project is an innovative intervention focused on establishing a model OAE for SEL curriculum across the continuum of TED. The key objective is to encourage discourse around the provision of guidance, recognition and validation of teaching competences across the teaching continuum, starting with the continuum of Physical Education. OutAdvEd addresses the existing need for validating coherent material and educational policies, at a European level, which will help teachers seize the opportunities for high quality education mindful of tackling teaching challenges head-on.
