Motion · S5M-22183 · 29 Jun 2020
Celebrating and Protecting Outdoor Education
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the contribution made by outdoor education to the development of young people; understands that extensive evidence shows that outdoor education can help to close the attainment gap and is extremely important for mental health and wellbeing; believes that the outdoors is safer than indoors in terms of transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and further believes that funding should be made available to the outdoor residential education sector to ensure its survival so that young people in the Edinburgh Southern constituency, and nationally, can continue to benefit from residential experiences when it is safe to do so.
