The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
Initiative
Building capacity for outdoor learning ESD practices in teacher education
About this initiative
The aim of the project was to build capacity of DCU/IoE staff across early childhood, primary, post-primary, FE and HE, to enhance and inform outdoor teaching and learning pedagogies for ESD through harnessing on-campus natural affordances. At the heart of this proposal is the importance of direct experiences in local places, from which reliable knowledge of global relationships can emerge.
