Learning For Sustainability Project .
The University of Queensland, together with Education Queensland's Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres conducted a Learning For Sustainability Project. The project was designed to enhance our theoretical understanding of the role and impact of nature-based environmental learning experiences, identify factors that facilitate learning for sustainability, and develop empirically-based best practice principles to support O&EECs in optimising student learning for sustainability. The results of this research have been published and are available on the Learning for Sustainability website.
This study and a number of other studies are reviewed and summarised in the research commisioned by the Outdoor Council of Australia entitled the Outdoor Activity Benefits Catalogue. This catalogue will be available to OEAQ members before the end of 2008.
