This research briefing explores the underlying evidence to underpin the implementation of the Outdoor Journeys programme with children and young people. Although there is limited literature supporting this relatively new approach, there is sufficient scope for outdoor learning within Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence all whilst supporting national policy and legislation. Recent studies have suggested children are disconnected with nature and their local environments due to an upsurge in technological advancements. Although Outdoor Journeys is not considered a traditional Occupational Therapy intervention strategy, the approach and concepts can be connected to practice. Thus, Outdoor Journeys could be employed to act as an effective and upcoming strategy within schools to facilitate learning and also support other related fields such as Occupational Therapy.
