Stage 1 - Disruption and awareness
Initial thought provoking questions:
- How much do we value nature?
- How important is it for our outdoor sport experience?
- Is this represented accordingly in our courses?
- Why haven’t we done education for sustainable development (esd) or environmental training before, what are the barriers?
While there appears to be a recognition by training providers that environmental training and ESD is either important or extremely important (92 percent , n=83), 41 percent of surveyed training providers do not include it in their curriculum. One of the main reasons was lack of knowledge by training providers. The SEE toolkit provides some activities to start the process. Link to Report
