Episode description
Julie White shares her passion for young children learning outdoors in the natural world as the best way for them to achieve wellbeing and develop resilience. "I think there is a big divide between the older generation and a lot of millennials in terms of our outdoor experiences growing up - whilst we had the freedom to explore our surroundings, younger generations have been accompanied by adults doing more structured and supervised activities. The result is a more fearful mentality, which we are in danger of perpetuating with the next generation. Finding a more natural way to educate our children seems to be gaining popularity with parents, but we need government and policy makers to really take this on board." Recorded at Leaf in Liverpool. Presenter: Olly Mann Producer: Sheila Cook.
