Outdoor Classroom Day impact report

In this Outdoor Classroom Day impact report, find out how the Outdoor Classroom Day community has been working towards making time outdoors part of every child’s day.

Since its humble beginnings in London in 2011, Outdoor Classroom Day has become the world’s biggest celebration of outdoor play and learning and the farthest reaching global movement campaigning for time outdoors every day for all children. 

In this Outdoor Classroom Day impact report, discover the progress that our community of teachers, parents and partners has made towards reaching our three goals.

Outdoor Classroom Day goals

1. Outdoor learning part of every school day
2. A consistent minimum target for recess/playtime
3. Schools to advocate for more time outdoors

From the very first teachers who took children outdoors in 2012, to the thousands who have joined the community to date. From the people that kept the day alive in the beginning, to our wonderful NGO partners who have embedded Outdoor Classroom Day in their country. From the organisations with a shared vision who have helped grow the movement, to Unilever’s Dirt is Good brands Persil/OMO who sponsored the campaign from 2016 to 2020.
