Lot Information

Lot 1

Scotland is renowned for its stunning natural heritage, which plays a crucial role in the livelihoods of people, from urban settings to our wilder landscapes. Yet many of us have little connection with nature, making it harder to appreciate the benefits we get from nature or the impact of our lives on it. Increased use of mobile phone technology potentially separates people from nature. However a solution that harnesses young people's enthusiasm for new and emerging technology could be an excellent tool to encourage connection with nature and deliver outdoor learning. There have been many initiatives to connect young people and educators with nature, resulting in, for example, Continuing Professional Development or Career-Long Professional Learning training, education packs, teaching materials, web-based information and apps. SNH has promoted 'Teaching in Nature', 'Go Wild with your Child', 'Simple Pleasures', 'View from the Train' and "Camera Trapping". And there are numerous single-place apps to connect people with nature, with many focusing on species recording and nature-based play. Similarly, there are websites and apps listing greenspaces throughout the UK and whilst these tell people where greenspace is, we are seeking a solution that would help people make the most of these spaces, generating meaningful experiences that engender a meaningful connection with nature. We want to go beyond other apps and websites by providing an all-inclusive, multifaceted solution that is innovative, informative, interactive and user-friendly. Instead of focusing on one element of nature, we want to maximize the educational potential and enhance learners 'and visitors' time at reserves and greenspaces by encapsulating the whole nature experience in one portable platform, along with information on facilities and services. This could support interdisciplinary learning, helping to take the classroom outdoors and the outdoors back in to the classroom. We are seeking an innovative solution to one of the greatest societal challenges of our time - how to better connect (young) people with nature. Spending time in nature has enormous benefits for health and well-being, educational attainment and personal development. We envisage a solution that increases these benefits though engaging (young) people and educators; harnessing the popularity and power of new and emerging technology; and encouraging more people to explore Scotland's nature. We want a solution that builds the confidence of school teachers delivering the 3-18 curriculum to take learning outdoors where possible and provides them with access to the necessary 'expert' knowledge..
