THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION: ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND TEACHER TRAINING IN ITALY

Alessandra Natalini, Emiliane Du Mérac, Luisa Vianello

Abstract


Outdoor Education (OE) promotes experiential, interdisciplinary and contextualised learning, but its spread in Italy is hampered by organisational, methodological and cultural difficulties.

This study, conducted with 294 Italian teachers as part of the UNI-T European Teacher Academy project, highlights how Communities of Practice (CoPs) are key tools for professional support, educational innovation and the spread of OE.
