Listen Later

As part of a series of interviews in which Martin will be interviewing teachers from outside of London in the run up to COP26, Martin is speaking to Scottish primary school teacher - and his brother - Dougie. Dougie is a munroist and Forest Schools leader, whose current professional role supports families and schools across the borders in getting their young people engaged back into school life.

In this episode, Martin and Dougie discuss using the outdoors as a tool to engage young people, Scotland's 'curriculum for excellence', and 'linking the thinking'.
