What is Teach Earth? Teach Earth In the Field is a free residential training weekend open to all educators hosted by Earthwatch Europe in Oxfordshire’s beautiful Wytham Woods and other locations across the UK. The weekend follows a learning programme seeking to build teachers' skills, knowledge, confidence and motivation to effectively inspire and lead children, young people and peers in building climate literacy, connection to nature, cross-curricular outdoor education and empowering positive action for the planet. The programme showcases creative ways to enhance the outdoor learning experience you will be able to easily replicate with your students. The training will be supported by opportunities for peer sharing and a full set of robust and engaging educator resources. Topics we cover in our learning programme include:
Planetary Boundaries

Whole-school projects
Cross-curricular learning
Quick-win activities
