Are you a media specialist who can help us take our global campaign to the next level?

Project Dirt is working with Unilever’s Dirt is Good team to run and develop Outdoor Classroom Day; a global campaign to celebrate and inspire outdoor learning and play. On Thursday 18 May 2017, thousands of schools around the world will take lessons outside and prioritise playtime.

Outdoor learning improves children’s health, engages them with learning and leads to a greater connection with nature. Play not only teaches critical life skills such as resilience, teamwork and creativity, but is central to children’s enjoyment of childhood.

In 2016, the campaign got almost half a million children playing and learning outdoors, but we need you to help make sure even more children experience the benefits of learning outside the classroom in 2017.

You will be an experienced and results-driven media specialist with experience of working internationally. Your excellent news sense will mean you can spot opportunities to reach the campaign’s target audiences where other’s may not. Your first-class communications skills will mean you can write compelling copy for a variety of audiences and build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
