All OASES projects contribute to the development of young people as responsible and confident global citizens, through a range of experiences characterised by hands-on, multi-sensory involvement.
OASES manges 3 residential outdoor learning centres for primary school children and provides a range of support services to schools wishing to learn in the outdoors.
In addition OASES manages or coordinates a number of complementary partner projects that each contribute to Education for sustainable Development. These are currently:
The School Grounds Development Project
A consultation and design project helping schools to develop their own grounds for greater enjoyment and outdoor learning potential.
One World Network North East
A Global Education project funded by DFID. The project works wioth teachers to raise their awareness of and confidence in dealing with global education issues.
WasteWise
A waste/recycling project working to encourage schools/young people towards a greater responsibility for waste and the environment.
Placements for trainee teachers would be tailored to make best use of an applicants skills and interests, and could be based in a single OASES project, or include experience across the range of projects.
