Quebec, Monday April 20, 2020 - The Monique-Fitz-Back Foundation announces the launch of the web platform teachoutdoor.ca on open-air education, a pedagogy that has the wind in its sails in schools in Quebec.
The teachingdehors.ca site aims to inform, inspire and equip elementary and secondary school teachers in Quebec interested in outdoor education. The platform is intended to be an evolving and collaborative space, which will improve over time and with the experience acquired. “We want the site to reflect the expertise we have here in Quebec: varied experiences and four seasons allowing students of all ages and from all backgrounds to move, learn and flourish outdoors.
Visitors will find informative and inspiring articles on the site, a bank of collaborative educational activities, a list of external resources as well as examples of outdoor classroom layouts. The content of the site will be fed by the Foundation and thanks to the collaboration of many individuals and organizations.
