Stage 1 - Disruption and awareness

Raising awareness on the importance of environmental training and education for sustainable development, and developing a motivation base for learning.
Disruption and awareness

Before starting this stage you can ask yourself some 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.

Disruption and awareness

Outcomes:

  • Outdoor sport instructors or participants are aware that education for sustainable development and environmental training is important.
  • Realise a gap between importance and (educational) reality.
  • Are motivated to take action \/ to learn more and take part in the educational training.
