In BBC Newsnight Robert Macfarlane explains lost words and childhood because children do not spend enough time outdoors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a7cjq_N3dE Through 'Everyone dies, but not everyone really lives' we are introduced to the difference between average life and amazing life. Two questions here are:
(a.) What might be amazing in a life? and (b.) What will ensure we have access?
For (a.), individual answers really matter and we expect parents, teachers and mentors to support informed choice-making. For (b.), we know 'What we do not really love we will not save...'. If we do not protect our world, how may we expect to enjoy amazing experiences in it? In this video Robert Macfarlane helps explain these things. |

Update: Adventure Professionals again on the agenda |

UPDATE: At their meeting on 7th December, 2017, HSE agreed to further investigate the feeling for change to the AALA delivery structure. Between now and Spring, 2018 there will be a series of opportunities for feedback to HSE on what might best deliver the right balance of opportunity, breadth, quality and cost when reassuring stakeholders in adventure activities (users, providers, funders, legislators, beneficiaries) that the best opportunities are offered delivered well. ENDS As the AALA progresses with the work of UKAIG, the field again has an opportunity to claim its full professional status according to common sense and social research theory. This research underpins the statement defining what a professional is (full information below). Whilst various requirements exist such as code of ethics, body of knowledge, training structure, defined period of experience, etc., the most vital is that there is public trust and reassurance derived from quality insurance owned and delivered through the professional body of the professionals themselves, and not any external quality assurance group however competent that group is. Below, and over the next days we invite discussion around what might be. |
