Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to make time outdoors part of every child’s day. On two days of action each year, teachers take children outdoors to play and learn. All year round, the Outdoor Classroom Day community campaigns for more time outdoors every day.
When you join us, you will have the opportunity to put your school or household on the map to show that you’re part of the global Outdoor Classroom Day movement!
Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning, at home and at school. On Outdoor Classroom Day itself, which has two dates each year, teachers celebrate with a special day outdoors for their class.
Children are spending less time outdoors than ever before and this is affecting their health, wellbeing and love of the natural world. Time outdoors – on Outdoor Classroom Day and every day – will make children happier and healthier, as well as helping them form habits that will stick with them for life. They will have a love of the natural world and will take action to protect it.
The next Outdoor Classroom Days are coming up on 8 May and 6 November 2025. Join the movement today!

“Education is not only learning from books or memorising facts, but also learning how to look...to listen to the birds, see the sky, the extraordinary beauty of a tree...and to feel with them.”J. Krishnamurti on Education
