Schools

We believe that learning should connect us with the living world and with each other: our approach is active, immersive and nature-based.

That’s why we’ve designed a programme of unforgettable days out for schools, colleges and universities, a range of training opportunities to support teachers in introducing outdoor and sustainability-focused learning, and a set of virtual online workshops that mean your class can get a dose of Eden inspiration wherever they are.

One of the most educationally rich venues to have taken groups to visit. I would hope all pupils at our school could visit on a rite of passage.

Curriculum for Nature and Sustainability

We’re working with our friends and partners at Morecambe Bay Curriculum and Sky Primary and Eden Project Nursery to explore how a place-based curriculum with nature and sustainability at its heart can be delivered in harmony with National Curriculum requirements.

Robbie, Eden Schools Team

“What makes Eden such a great classroom is that you’re immersed in the thing you are learning about. You can see, hear, feel, smell and even taste it.”
