Countryside Recreation Network: Growing Up Outdoors the next steps: children's health and the outdoors

Thu, 03/12/2009 - 09:30 - 16:00
Said Business School, Oxford

One year on from the CRN landmark conference 'Growing up Outdoors', this seminar will explore further steps towards encouraging children to be active in the natural environment. Studies show how many of today's children have little chance to experience the outdoors as their lives are spent cooped up in classrooms or in front of television and computer screens. This is having serious consequences for children's health and as a result is now rising on the government’s agenda.
