Season 1: Episode 3

Juliet Robertson is a leading outdoor learning consultant, author of 2 popular books, who is living with a terminal illness. Before becoming a consultant, Juliet was a head teacher at three schools. Her other experience draws on a degree in environmental science, as an archaeologist, conservation, outdoor education and years in mainstream teaching, including as a head teacher.

Her well-loved blog, Creative Star, (https://creativestarlearning.co.uk) is a must-visit resource full of excellent outdoor learning tips.

In this episode, Juliet:

●   Talks frankly and tenderly about her terminal illness.

●   Brings all her experience to this conversation, sharing the potential of outdoor learning and outdoor play.

●   Emphasises that you don’t need a qualification to take learning outside and the preciousness of play.

●   Challenges the cultural assumption that real learning only happens indoors.

●    Reiterates that the outdoors is not a ‘subject’, rather an essential place of learning any area of the curriculum.
