RSPB Schools Wild Challenge for Outdoor Centres
Date change - was 24th October - Now 19th November
The aim of this session is for outdoor centres to be aware of the RSPB Wild Challenge and then share a case study of GWC running a proposed offer for schools.
www.rspb.org.uk/wildchallenge.
Wild Challenge is a free award scheme where teachers and pupils explore and help nature. Each level of bronze, silver and gold requires the completion of 6 activities; three that explore nature and three that help. The activities are broad and flexible; suggestions and resources are given but teachers can deliver in whatever way sits them and their pupils. A small piece of evidence is uploaded to show each activity that was completed.
Our partnership trial centred around GWC offering schools a BioBlitz activity to schools as part of their visit. Signing them up for Wild Challenge (if new), carrying out the activity and rewarding them with a certificate which doubled up as their evidence of completion.
Aimed at: Anyone who engages teachers and their pupils with the natural environment
