Outdoor Education: l’innovativo approccio della didattica all’aperto
L'Outdoor Education è una tipologia di approccio alla didattica che pone al centro del processo di apprendimento l’esperienza concreta dello studente, di modo che possa non solo acquisire conoscenze, ma anche sviluppare vere e proprie competenze.
Scuola internazionale a Roma con outdoor education
RIS offre un'esperienza educativa innovativa e integrata con la natura, dove gli studenti possono apprendere e crescere in un ambiente esterno ricco di stimoli e opportunità. In aggiunta al RIS Space Lab e al nuovo laboratorio STEAM esistono tantissime aree per il gioco e l’outdoor learning.
