Summary
A novel 'on the door' approach to outdoor education emerges from the Dolomiti-UNESCO project, bridging indoor and outdoor learning methodologies to enhance educational outcomes. This innovative model fosters teacher expertise and student engagement in the natural environment of the Dolomites, demonstrating its potential to drive bottom-up systemic change and influence educational policies. The approach emphasizes sustainability, community involvement, and the development of personal and social agency, offering a workable framework for achieving ecological transition goals. By integrating explorative experiences with traditional classroom settings, the project redefines outdoor education's role in shaping responsible, future-oriented communities.
