Aberdeen Biodiversity Centre are pleased to announce that they are involved in the Aberdeen network launch of the Upstart campaign, which is a national campaign for a kindergarten stage of schooling for the under sevens, with a focus on outdoor learning. This dovetails nicely with the centre's focus on outdoor learning which evidence suggests has a positive impact on physical health and wellbeing and also helps children and young people to connect with nature and develop a lifelong interest in the environment and sustainability.
Launch of Aberdeen local network for Upstart Scotland Venue: Lecture Theatre New Kings 6 (NK6), University of Aberdeen, King’s College, Aberdeen, AB24 3FX. Date: Tuesday, March 22nd 2016 Time: 7.00 -- 9.00 p.m. Come and hear why we need to introduce a Nordic-style kindergarten stage for Scotland's children.
Speakers:
Juliet Robertson, outdoor education specialist, Creative Star
The Real David Cameron, Scottish educationist and one of the architects of Curriculum for Excellence
Sue Palmer, Chair of Upstart Scotland and author of Toxic Childhood and 21st Century Boys.
