National Outdoor Lesson Day - You will learn more outside!

Teachers want to go out more often with their pupils because they expect outdoor lessons to have a positive effect on students' learning performance. By regularly offering regular training material in the open air, discovering, researching and learning children playfully and with much more pleasure. Unfortunately, teachers often lack space and outdoor teaching materials to teach outside. Jantje Beton and IVN Natuureducatie help schools by working together with teachers to stimulate outdoor lessons by organizing the National Buitenlesdag.

Outdoor lessons not only fun, but also good for development

That being outside is good for children is well known. By giving lessons outdoors, children are exposed to natural daylight and fresh outdoors. This contributes to less fatigue and a better mood, and may also have a positive effect on children's learning ability.

Buitenles offers space for challenging education

An outdoor lesson also offers opportunities for the teacher to give more challenging lessons. They are lessons where students sort things out themselves, work a lot together and use their bodies and senses while learning. Movement during learning is not only good for the physical health of children, but also has positive effects on cognitive processes.
