There has recently been a surge of interest in the links between outdoor learning and wellbeing. The global education community has been sharing inspirational work that aims to support educators to take their teaching and learning outside.

This special issue of the BERA Blog focuses on the five ‘ways to wellbeing’ – taking notice, connecting, learning, being active and giving – while adding a sixth: ‘slowing down’. Featuring contributors from New Zealand, India, Finland, Slovenia and the UK, the collection provides a range of perspectives on contributing to wellbeing, as well as practical steps that we can take ourselves, share with others, and incorporate into everyday teaching.
