2024 Education Award Winner - Learning Through Landscapes

Throughout 2023, Learning through Landscapes (LtL) has been working with over 300 participants from 16 schools and 11 community groups/charities in Walsall. Over 400 hours of outdoor learning have been delivered which addressed issues of climate change and enabled physical changes to take place in school grounds and community spaces, to support nature.​

The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and aimed to provide opportunities for young people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who typically have less access to the natural environment, to learn about and engage with nature.​

The delivery of the project, developed in line with the national curriculum, is aimed at KS2 pupils. The children’s voice was an integral part of this process, they were given the opportunity to design, allocate funding and physically make these changes, whilst also communicating with members of the local community​.
