Plymouth City Council: Natural Plymouth TEAM 2015

Co-Editor - The Plymouth LINE Directory

Abstract: The publication was a ‘collaborative authoring’ between teachers in Plymouth working through Natural Connections schools who wanted to contribute to a Plymouth Directory that covered a range of creative ways of learning outdoors and specifically ‘learning in the natural environment’ (LINE). The directory included links to external providers and local projects.

It is vital to the ecological, socio-cultural and ethical ‘global becoming’ that we practice plurality with ‘opening’ for transformation and possible new worlds of present and future through local and global. We know not yet what we are capable of materialising through collaboration and cooperation for planetary justice.
