PRESENTER: Early Childhood Outdoor Learning Network
The Early Childhood Outdoor Learning Network exists to promote and support outdoor learning for preschool children in Australia. We bring educators together to share our experience of outdoor teaching.
We share information – be it practical, pedagogical, philosophical or political. We promote the value of outdoor play for young children.
Our earliest work to spread awareness of nature kindergarten was through Gatherings that provide opportunities for interested people to visit the sites where nature kindergarten is held and talk to staff. This program is ongoing.
We are a volunteer organisation. We are practitioners sharing with other practitioners. At the moment, we are based in Victoria, however we are open to educators anywhere in Australia.
