We're looking forward to this week's #ukfechat - Saving Outdoor Education with @ChrisAFRIN
With closures of outdoor centres and rapid dilution of adventure activities, how will #FE carry the torch to bring adventure opportunities to disadvantaged students?
Good question @mikerraine, looking at a really sad reality.
"Outdoor Education has to regroup, join together for a common purpose, present a united front and work hard, very hard, to demonstrate how we are part of the answer, not the problem."
There is a lot of work to be done.

Centres in North Wales and across the country have been v successfully run post-council. The huge benefit of this is the continued relationships w schools & benefit to those children. @Warwickshire_CC will let down the children of Warwickshire without properly considering this.
It’s disappointing that @Warwickshire_CC are closing @savemarlehall and didn’t explore the business case/ lease proposal put forward further. It was based on our successful ‘not for profit’ Arete model which has shown how an outcome can work positively for both LA and communities

Heartbreaking…. More heart stopping!
What is left for children in Warwickshire?

So short sighted. Shame on you @Warwickshire_CC. When are those in charge of education in this country going to realise that #outdoorEd is not a 'nice to have', it's an essential part of developing strong, happy, resilient young people. #ThereIsMoreToEducationThanSchool
This is a dreadful decision by @Warwickshire_CC after your constituents voiced such support for the centre. The closure of Marle Hall will have a hugely detrimental effect on the young people of Warwickshire, at a time when the need is great. Shame on you Warwickshire Council.

How many children from the most deprived backgrounds in #Warwickshire will now miss out on these life changing experiences? How many from communities under-represented in those other outdoor centres? I'd like to see the #equalityimpactassessment @Warwickshire_CC. #Saveoutdoored

From water level to mountain top, Snowdonia is a magnet for thrill-seekers🗻 But places like @aretecentre haven't been able to operate for much of the pandemic, leaving many children without their first taste of adventure.

Residential Outdoor Education is still at risk across the country, we must do everything we can to advocate its benefits and #SaveOutdoorEd for our young people.

Wales' slate landscape wins World Heritage status but how much longer will Warwickshire children have opportunities to explore this UNESCO world heritage site firsthand.

The young people of #warwickshire need Marle Hall. So many quiet tragedies like this happening. #saveoutdoored
We are becoming concerned that we are hearing courses are being cancelled at Marle Hall yet no announcements from @Warwickshire_CC on the closure or the future of the centre.
