Open Mandate all schools to provide outdoor learning & teach hands-on gardening

Created by Georgina Lawrence
Closes on

We call on the Government to mandate all schools to provide outdoor learning and teach hands-on gardening to build vital survival skills and fight climate anxiety. We believe our children need nature, and that this proposal can protect their future and Earth.

We feel our children are disconnected from nature and unprepared for a changing planet. Outdoor learning could improve mental health, reduce eco-anxiety and teach vital self-sufficiency. Textbooks alone cannot protect our future. We should give the next generation the practical tools and ecological literacy they need to survive.
