Voices of the People on the Environment & Conservation Show
Voices of the People is a platform where members of the public can take part by sharing personal opinions & views on selected topic focusing around nature & environmental awareness. We gather a collective of audio recordings from 1minute to 5 minutes long from people from different walks of life. The show itself than becomes collaborative of various people sharing personal views on any given topic. This topic of the show is specifically on outdoor education.
Outdoor instructors, forest school leaders, bushcraft & survival instructors and outdoor education & adventure specialists of all walks of life welcome to contribute.
Why should I take part?
For a sense of community and to raise awareness on the importance of outdoor education. A recent BBC article expressed how outdoor specialists are highlighting the importance of outdoor education and calling for outdoor educational centres to reopen for Easter time. Andy Robinson, chief executive of the Institute for Outdoor Learning warns how the outdoor industry is on a knife edge and if no action is taken or no additional support is provided, the sector stands to lose all its 16,000 jobs.
The outdoor industry plays a vital role is children's experiences and development, many hope that the outdoor industry is not snuffed out. The outdoor industry among others has been hit hard by the lockdown. Many outdoor education centres have had to close their businesses to main customers for almost a year, even during times when other businesses, such as pubs, hotels or restaurants have been allowed to open.
We wish to hear from outdoor instructors, forest school leaders, bushcraft instructors, outdoor adventure specialists and anyone working within the outdoor industry. Tell us why you believe in the importance of the outdoor industry and how outdoor education supports in developing young people. The Environment & Conservation Show is a non-for-profit independent platform created for people & communities to share voices. Please connect.
Email us a voice recording between 1 minute to 5 minute long. Audio only please!
