A practical introduction to Outdoor Education as a teaching methodology, rather than a subject. This nature-based workshop is a practical introduction to Outdoor Education as a teaching methodology rather than a subject. Participants will explore how outdoor environments can be used to enhance learning, wellbeing, development and connection through purposeful, hands-on experiences. Participants will enjoy a fully outdoor course focused on sensory, experiential and educational activities that bring learning to life. We will discover how risk, play, exploration, and curiosity can be powerful tools for engagement and development in any setting, while connecting to a wide range of broader themes such as curriculum, sustainability, biodiversity, and wellbeing. This workshop is suitable for teachers, youth workers, volunteers, industry professionals, educators, and anyone interested in learning about Outdoor Education (and Outdoor Learning). Participants should expect to be outdoors for the full course duration, and take part in lots of hands-on activities that support place-based education and experiential learning. This is the first stage in our Outdoor Education training pathway and leads to further certified training workshops by Field Studies Ireland, including: Leading ‘Outdoor Education/Learning’ Leading ‘Education for Sustainability’ Leading ‘Nature Wellbeing’

The event explores how institutions can respond to technological transformation while preserving their educational mission & public purpose. Artificial intelligence is accelerating change across higher education, challenging established assumptions about teaching, assessment, expertise, and the value of a university education. As new models of learning emerge, what should the university of the future look like? Who will shape it, who will benefit from it, and what role should universities play in preparing people for a rapidly changing world? This panel will explore how institutions can respond to technological transformation while preserving their educational mission and public purpose.

This immersive session introduces primary school staff to Peacemakers’ interactive approach to circle time. Building and Strengthening Relationships Through Peace Circles This immersive session introduces primary school staff to Peacemakers’ interactive approach to circle time. It introduces circle pedagogy, inclusive activities, explores ways to support social and emotional development, and turns learning into practical, purposeful action. Through our work in hundreds of primary schools, we've learned that it's not just what you teach – it's how you teach it. Peace education delivered in an authoritarian way would undermine its own message. What's needed instead are participative, democratic approaches where children and adults genuinely share the space. Circles are central to our practice. Used by communities across cultures for centuries, circle time creates a space where every voice is heard — including those of quieter or more marginalised children. Passing a talking piece around the circle ensures no one is talked over. Circles can balance power, build empathy, and shift the classroom dynamic in ways that ripple out into the rest of the school day. Within a circle, there's room for games, role play, group and paired discussion, and drama — approaches that children find engaging and memorable. The content of peace education doesn't have to feel worthy or heavy. Done well, it's fun.
